Day in the life of Hondo

Bday dinner

Yesterday mom and dad celebrated Daddy's bday a couple days early. He turns 29 tomorrow the 25th, but he works on his bday! AND Thanksgiving day AND black Friday!!!

Mom and dad were out doing errands yesterday after seeing "New Moon" (which I hear was fab), and since they didn't know what to do for dinner, they both agreed to do something later that night. Daddy is a meat eatin' machine, so naturally he wanted steak. He also got some of those onion thingies at Outback "Blooming Onion" as he doesn't get onions often as mom doesn't cook with those!

Daddy's early bday gift was his Trek '10 bike which we bought a few months back. Too bad it's all rainy and cold as he can't ride in that yuck!

A Hondo Master card

My, wouldn't that be pawsome? Too bad I can't apply for a Master card on Catster... I don't think it's fair that mom would be the one to get a card with MY face on it... Wouldn't that be identity theft? Hmmmmmmmmm?

Although the perks of cash back on purchases is appealing. Mom likes those cards.

SHOPPING!

YES!! Mom went shopping! Mom went shopping!! Just joined the Dyson/catster group and took advantage of the 45% off and ordered a Dyson DC25 for the 3rd floor. Granted our house isn't built yet but mom likes to prepare and take advantage of sales!

I taught her well!!! YAY! I knew I could get mom to cave and spend $. Helpin' the economy! My job is done... A cat's job is never done, I know I know, but you know what I meow :)

Sugared Plums!

While it's true, I had no paw in helping Fido pick out a gift for his wife Allie (my niece), I did manage to help mom pick out some candles the other day. Around Catmas it's hard to find Yankee's "Sugared Plums". So mom went online and FOUND them at the direct store. They shipped so it's a matter of time till they get here via EVIL Fed Ex (UPS is more reliable for us).

I'm still busy helping mom find things for the house. Mom told grandpaw for Catmas she doesn't knead anything just give her GC for Lowes/BB/Target if he feels he has to send something. Grandpaw didn't hear the bit about "Don't knead anything" as he said, "nonsense" MOL

Mom is sticking to her guns about how our pink Hondo Condo is our catmas AND Bday gifts. Dang, once Fido has his bday in Jan, this bday non sense has gone full circle!

It's worth it though :)

Finally!

MEOW! Finally Catster fixed the annoying comments! We stopped commenting on people's diaries and pictures because we got really annoyed when we got a billion emails saying so-and-so commented on the same diary and said...

Now there's a button when you comment on a picture /diary where you can select if you want to get notifications or not!

"Receive email notification when others comment on the diary"

YAY!!

Shopping withdrawal

While I'm helping mom brain storm for things she wants for when we move, she said for now, we must not shop too much!!! Something about preparing for closing costs and then window treatments. I guess those are pricey. I was looking at the floor plan and we have over 24 windows if I counted right. YIKES.

Not only has my shopping ceased, but we're outta zealies, AGAIN!!! Mom did let me buy $5 worth a few weeks ago but we're down to ONE now... *gah* Fido is all "Our stash better be here for Allie's bday" and they should but it'll be close. If we didn't have to spend so much $ on feeding BOOGIE AND MITTENS we'd have extra fun money I bet. When in doubt, blame Boogie... He's urking me too... He wants to paint the cat room BLUE. I said... PINK!!! Seriously, I was here first and I'm the oldest :)

Can't wait to shop!

My mom is writing a list of things she'll have to get for the new house and a list of things she's replacing. Last night I helped her pick out a kick tail paper towel holder. We have one now, but like many complain about, it's hard to tear a sheet off with ONE hand. We found this nice one on Amazon that mom heard about and read about. On the review page, they have a video and it's fab! So mom listed and said, "Ok, if you say so Hondo". :)

Since our new kitchen will have a billion cabinets in the kitchen (42" aka too high for mom) she'll be getting a spice rack to install inside the door. Naturally I told her she should do that vs. one on the counter as I have a feeling the raggies and Fido will be on the counter tops since our kitchen is big. Only Fido and Tiski have that bad habit. Porkers does on occasion but he listens when mom says, "no". It'll be interesting to see how BIG Boogers gets as he's ALWAYS in the kitchen when mom cooks! ALWAYS!

Spare a vote?

Ahhh yes, it's that time of year again... Mom is busy uploading pictures finally. She's usually on top of her game, but with the new house and all, our pages have been put on the back burner. *sigh*

Would love if you voted for me and my family :) Just look for our voting badge where the bio fields are!

Mom? Dad? Where have YOU been?!

Ooooooooo my pawrents are FINALLY back from visiting *MONTE AND FAMILY* ! OMC!! I smell all these smells on their fur and am wondering, is that why they were gone for so long???!!!

Although the weather was terrible (a LOT of rain and bad drivers), my pawrents left at 6am and returned home at 8:40pm.

My mom and dad had so much fun!! Mom loved playing with all Auntie's babies and was happy to finally meet Cannoli, Monte and Truffles! Truffles was a bit shy but mom did get to meet everyone :)

They came home with goodies from Auntie and my brothers!! Let's see... There's a big bag of... Biscotti's!!! Guess who picked them out :) Mmmmmmm mom is munching on a few while doing my diary MOL!!! Auntie Barb also gave mom a yummy Yankee Candle "Spiced Pumpkin", "Winter candy Apple" anti-bacterial hand soap from B&BW, a nice big fridge tablet from PetSmart where 50% of the proceeds to go charities, Halloween sockies (mom usually wears WHITE socks, but the colored ones in mom's drawer are from Auntie over the years MOL), and then WE all got goodies!!!

We got a HUGE bag of goodies: Auntie's famous catnip pillows, mousies, glitter balls, feather toy, 2 Fancy Feast appetizers, PARTY MIx!!!!!, a cute black cat that mom will put up for Halloween, and...

THINGS FROM VEGAS!!!! YES!!!! While Auntie and Rob went to Vegas back in Sept they had bought us and mommy/daddy something too!! Mom gotta pretty rainbow key chain that says Las Vegas, Daddy got a green masculine key chain, and WE got TWO Vegas Tees!!!!

One is dark blue with 2 bears dressed up at Las Vegas (Elvis bear!) and the other is a white T-shirt with the American flag on it saying "Las Vegas".

OMC!! We are so spoiled!!! :) Mom unfortunately won't be able to post pics until late tomorrow as she has an appointment w/ the home guy and then when she gets back from there, she has to TAKE pics :) Bummer, we can't play with our toys until pics... Oh well :)

They also went to Tony Lukes in Philly! Everyone had the Roast Beef sandwich (dad had the Parmesan platter) and the famous bacon/ranch/fries!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm Dad was happy to go there as he LOVED the fries last time!!!

Mom LOVED meeting everyone, but for some reason, she took a liking to Snowmitts (not a surprise), Biscotti and Monte!! Cannoli was having fun playing with mom too but I think Monte and Biscotti liked mom the most :)

Thank you Auntie and Unkie and my fellow furry cousins for a fantastic day!!!

Deitech commercials!

EVIL! Oh, they taunt me!

Last night there was a new one on the tv, and there was this blue bird flying on the screen!

I got right onto the tv area (actually hauled tail and got there FAST) and was watching the birdie!

Ooooooooo you guys MUST catch that Deitech commercial!! It's devine! Oh the blue birdie!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad cat's aren't allowed!

Ugh, mom is now realizing it's more complicated than she thought when it comes to picking out the colors for the interior of our future house!

Mom is definitely going to go light-med for the kitchen. But now what color cabinets? They'll prob be oak as well as the floor 'cause Brazilian Cherry will be costly. No granite either but mom said down the road.

What color appliances?! White? S. Steel? Black? Off white? S. Steel is her first choice but we shall see how fast the cost rises...

I think us cats should be allowed INSIDE, namely ME 'cause I could help mom with these decisions... But noooooooo, cats are NOT allowed.

Sorry mom, you're on your own!

Pink meets Orange!

Ahhh yes, look at my spiffy page Pansy made! She totally merged the famous quote from "Legally Blond" as mentioned in my diary below...

Sorry we haven't been around much as mom is working w/ lenders and it's a bit more complicated than we expected. NO ONE ever talks about this stuff so they had no clue!

Mom and dad are approved, FICO is good along w/ debt/credit ratio, just that they're working on closing costs (even though you won't know till THE closing) but for paper work and for the next step, we gotta come to an agreement.

Tomorrow dad will talk to Geoff the guy who is in charge of building our house. A friend spoke w/ Geoff today (he's at home, not working today) and he said that there's NO WAY the closing costs, even at a "What if" standpoint would be $20k. He said expect $7-8k TOPS which is great as mom and dad have $10k set aside for that. The issue is they're doing a VA loan which isn't an issue, but there seems to be more fine print and justification of funds vs. FHA. They have their down payment which, when using the VA 0% is kneaded so they get their $5k Earnest money back. But again, it's complicated.

SO much that Fido will have the same diary as me along w/ my bros to keep everyone in the loop with us. I swear we're not abducted or anything!

Fidey is going mad as our pawrents are hogging the computer checking emails, bank stuff, etc.,

Orange is SO NOT the new pink!!

A favorite actress of mine once meowed,

"And last week I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal, and I talked her out of buying this truly heinous angora sweater. Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed. "

It's the quote from Legally Blond. So I echo what Elle said, Orange is NOT the new pink!!!

So that being said? I'm NOT going to have a massive Halloween page/outfit this year... I know in the past I have, but I'm just not liking orange on my furrr this year!!! So this orange bib that says "I'm so cute it's spooky" will have to do :)

I'm a divo, I know...

*bonk*

MOL!!! We just got done w/ our Harry Potter meowathon and at the end, Lancelot asked if I was bonkin' my Vet in my main pic! Indeed I was!

And get this! I think the Vet liked ME more than BOOGIE!! Perhaps it was 'cause Boogie had ruined my pink crate on the way to the vets (and the lil' bit about him wetting his furrr MOL), but he said he really REALLY liked me 'cause he loves cats who like to do head butts!

If you ever meet me, more than likely I'd give you a head butt and I do it HARD! Like I get into it!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Water filters

Pawsome! Mom just cleaned our Drinkwell Platinum and 360. She has to do the daunting task 2x a week as the raggies tend to plug up the black motor with their fur. When mom takes the motor out for cleaning, she separates that side cap (it's a bit tricky) as there's TONS of raggie fur!

I didn't tell her but I think some of that fur is mine. I have a bad habit of sticking my head under the running faucet area. Can't help it! It tastes so good! I know somewhere in my photo album on Catster I have a picture or two of my head getting quite wet from the spout :)

Ok, back to drinking that goodness!! Fresh water! I knead fresh water! (Also been my forum moto since I joined Catster). :)

Ack! Not the Vet!!

I'm all back home after going to the Vet with Boogie. I kneaded my annual as well as Distemper shot (3 year now!!) and Boogie kneaded his Distemper ('cause he has a bad temper IMO).

Leave it to Boogie to embarrass me... Fur the furrrst time he had an accident on the 5 minute trip to the vet. Dad was driving and mom was in the back w/ Boogs (dang right I called shot gun!) and when they arrived mom goes, "*sniff sniff* DO YOU SMELL THAT?!?!"

*embarrassed* Boogie did a no. 1 in the crate and peed IN MY PINK crate and ON Fido's blanket!!! Fido isn't happy either!

Anymeow, I have some 3V tablets to hopefully help my excessive dander by my bum, and the Vet said my chronic eye watering problem isn't an issue it just means that my tear duct isn't draining my tears (they spillith over on my fur). So I have some Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic ointment for 10 days and if that doesn't work there's some other things they could do. The Vet said since I've had this since I came home 5 years ago, it's more than likely I was born with it as well as many others. It won't hurt me :)

He was VERY impressed with my head bonking abilities (I'm a bonker) and also how for a 6 year old divo, I have like NO TARTER on my teeth!!! Never had a cleaning :) The other dudes I have to share the house with have tarter (mind you, they're youngin's).

Seriously, a divo NEVER has bad breath or teeth!

The only embarrassing thing was that my mom said I sometimes get cling-ons (Me and Colleen get 'em) back there so they clipped me. Our Vet said he can sympathize as one of his cats has the same issue :)

Pics to be posted soon!

Give me pounce and treats!

Mom cleaned earlier and when she finally got around to making herself dinner, she realized she didn't feeds us treats today!!

The twins, Boogie and Fido love moist. I only like Tiki, Solid Gold and Sheba otherwise I hate moist. Porkers won't eat ANY moist. So when the four get moist, me and Porkers get treats :)

Today we enjoyed the brown bag of Party Mix. Oh how I love treats!!! But then she forgot she didn't put the vacuum away so as soon as I saw that thing, I ran!!

But not after I got my treats :)

Diggin'

I'm going to dig to China mom says!! When I use the robot, I tend to keep diggin' and diggin' and *20 seconds later* diggin' and diggin'... What can I say? I'm a divo!

It helps keep my pawdicure short and neat, and I get a mini workout!

Besides, I'm going to have to keep these claws in shape as my brother and some of his pose' are going after Pansy... I'm sure I'll have to help them dig to find me jewels, me gold, and me purses!!! Pansy must be stopped!

Hand over yer gold, yer jewels, yer purses!!! MOL!!!

Holy cats!! Look at my FABULOUS page by the lovely and talented Pansy made me!!! She incorporated all my favorite things! Pink, purses and bling!! *faints* I'm just in awe!! *tries to contain himself*

Now, if you know what's best for you, you best be handing over yer gold, yer jewels, and yer purses!!! MOL!!!

Thanks so much Pansy!!! I love it love it love it!! Happy Meow like a Pirate Month!!

Big bug!

So mom was up wayyyyyyyyyyy to late this morning and didn't get to bed until 10-11am!!! Don't worry, she forced herself out of bed by 4pm.

Anyway, late last night (errrr this morning) mom was reading and playing with Boogs and Tiski when I noticed a big bug!! It was near the balcony by the shades. Mom saw it too after I started making this lil' hunter/chirp noise. I'm a great bug finder, but don't expect me to eat or kill it. Mom didn't know what it was other than BIG! She thought it was either a big BIG ant or an almost dead bee as it wasn't moving fast. She got the swiffer mop (she's only 5'3" so she's short) and started to whack at the bug. But it was MIA!

She refused to do anything until she found the bug. She eventually found it on the bottom part of the window and that's when she killed it.

Seriously, I wasn't about to help her! NO WAY JOSE'!

Lil' brothers are growing up! PARTY!

I'm so excited to be celebrating my brothers *TISKERS* , *MITTENS* and their litter mate *BISCOTTI* birthday today on August 26th!! They are all going to be the TERRIBLE TWO'S this year *gulp*

Their brother Snowmitts from a different litter is throwing all 3 an all day party *HERE* . We would love for you to come!

Have a pawsome birthday dudes!! Mom is especially happy for Tiski as he was diagnosed 4 months ago with a terminal heart disease so this is an extra special birthday for her to enjoy!

I do not snore!!!!!!

Like Dad, I do NOT snore!!! Seriously, I think my pawrents are hearing things, namely mom since Dad claims he too doesn't snore.

Mom went to bed about 4am and got up at 9am. She's not a happy camper. Mom's a light sleeper so naturally she can hear him snore (allegedly). I'm in my luscious PINK HONDO CONDO right now and mom said I snore too! *hmph* Time for mom to get her ears checked I thinkith!!!

Holy kittens!

It's been over a week since I last did my diary!!

Hmmmmmmm not much is new as usual. Mom went shopping w/o me today and I'm not too happy. I'm glad she found some sales but seriously, next time consult me first!!!

She came home with some new treats and some contraptions I'd like to call couture!!! It's one thing if "I" had a say in but to pick out clothes for moi?!? Without my approval? *brings out his inner divo* Please, next time wait for me mom!!!!!!!!!! :)

Hope you all stay cool! It's almost 7pm and it's still 90!

Not so skitty!

In my old age, wisdom has visited :) I am not nearly as skitty as I was before. I've always gone to mom and dad but visitors I would always hide for a couple days.

But the past year I've been better. I mean, I welcomed Auntie Barb and Rob after a few minutes and seeing Grandpaw again so soon? I love him :) He loves my PINK HONDO CONDO so naturally he's good in my book!!

Time to get lovies from him!

Grandpaw!

I can't WAIT to show him my PINK HONDO CONDO!!!!!! Dad laughs when mom tells him what I've bought lately. She always puts the blame on me, but then again, she has reason 'cause I control what we buy in this house, yes I do!

I help mom budget so I can shop at will once the bills are paid.

In the meantime, my pawrents haven't gotten tickets to IMAX HP yet. The first 12 minutes are in 3D according to the promo's! I wonder if that means mom gets to wear the swanky red/blue glasses???

I wouldn't be caught dead in that color combo for obvious reasons :)

IMAX

Mom is itching to see HP (YES AGAIN) but in IMAX form! I think it starts this week!! Oooooooo too bad dad is working this weekend...

Grandpaw is flying down August 5 for a week again :) Mom can't wait!!! Maybe she'll wait to see the movie w/ her dad. He's going to start reading the HP book series! I am most proud of grandpaw :)

Now, if only we could get Daddy to fulfill his promise he made when he and mom got married (which was over 6 years ago). He pawmissed to read the series and not just watch the movies MOL!!! He's read the first 5... C'mon dad!!!!!!!

Not a scardy cat!

To avoid repeating our diaries furrr-bait-emmmm, the raggies and Boogie talked about the details of Auntie Barb and Rob's visit to our home.

The main thing I wanna report is that I, Hondo, skitty cat compared to my brothers, came out and liked auntie a lot!! I let her pet me and I came out like a big boy! I could sense she was cool... BESIDES, she wore PINK yesterday! That'll win me affection every time!

I'm so ashamed of Fido... He hid the entire time!! Normally that'd be me, but I've grown up a bit :)

But seriously, she wore PINK, you can't NOT like someone who wears pink!!!

She better not try and take MY PINK HONDO CONDO!

Word is we're having guests STAY the night... Auntie, as much as I love her, better NOT sleep in MY PINK HONDO CONDO!!! It's mine :) I'll share if I have to, but it'll cost her, aka treats :)

Seriously, she better not sleep in MY condo!!!

I may hide behind the sofa, but give or take 15 minutes, and I'll come out and socialize. After all, I'm a divo, they should be so lucky to see me in the flesh and fur!!! I normally charge furr special appearances :)

Mommmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes, what Porkers said in his diary about me ratting on him is TRUE!!! Porkers has in the past 36 hours figured out how to sepurrate the drinkwell 360 pluggies (the two sections that, when plugged in, create bubblies and water flow). I AM NOT AMUSED!

I love water! It's my catster moto in fact and has been since day one! But Porkers prevents me from getting my FRESH WATER!!

Mom doesn't want to tape the ends together 'cause it'll get nasty and sticky. Bad enough we gotta tape our cords to the wall to prevent the twins from eating them!

Besides, I'm tired of running to mom and complaining, "MOooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Porkers did it again"

PINK CONDO + PINK CAKE = Happy Hondo!

Oooooooo Boogie is all mad 'cause mom forgot it was our 3 year Catster annifurrsary yesterday the 15th. He's all mad 'cause he didn't get to eat his cake...

I'm just happy that I have 3 PINK CANDLES on my PINK CAKE and I will eat the cake while on my fabulous PINK CONDO!!

Many of you's said that there's room for MORE cats. MOL! Don't put any ideas in mom's head!

The next cat is going to be a long haired Orangie like Lancelot or Titch from the UK. Mom hasn't seen any yet.

*thinks to himself, "GOOD" I don't wanna share my PINK CONDO with an orange cat* Am I right? Orange and PINK do NOT match!!!

IT'S HERE!! MY PINK HONDO CONDO IS HERE!!!

Oooooo! It arrived at 11am, but my pawrents did NOT put it together right there!! *gasp* Something about going to bed at 8am since Dad's still on nights (I KNOW RIGHT?)

So at 4pm they woke up. Took about 30 min to put together (all assembled just had to do some twists and turns).

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tall that dad had to get on a stool to screw the last part in (and he's 6'1").

Off to post pics!!!!!!!!!

Almost time for my PINK HONDO CONDO AND HP!!

Ok, I just checked the status on my PINK HONDO CONDO:

Jul 13, 2009 4:23 PM
Arrived at FedEx location
HAGERSTOWN, MD

Oooooooooooo so close!! It's coming in 2 shipments. One is 40 pounds, the other 100 pounds MOL!!! The FedEx guy better not be lazy and say we weren't "home" 'cause dad will be on high alert waiting for the man in purple, aka the evil one in our area. The man in brown never fails us :)

In the meantime, we're excited for tomorrow as HP is premiering at MIDNIGHT! AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Hondo Condo Tuesday!!!!!

Ooooooooo FedEx says it's going to be delivered Tuesday!!! Wooooooooooooo

Normally dad works next Tuesday-Wed BUT he took off Tuesday!! WHY!?!? HP movie premier!!! Ooooooooooooo (He's on nights and would get home at 7am Wed).

So hopefully the FedEx (EVIL ONES) get the thing delivered ASAP so dad can assemble my condo before the movie!!

*chants HONDO CONDO HONDO CONDO*

HONDO CONDO! HONDO CONDO!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Dad just checked his email and my PINK HONDO CONDO IS DONE!!!!!!! It's shipping tomorrow and I would assume it'd be here semi fast???

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! HONDO CONDO! HONDO CONDO!!!!

Countdown...

Two big things will be happening soon. The main one is that my PINK HONDO CONDO should be done SOON!!!! They did after all say last week that it SHOULD be shipped out this week sometime... *crosses paws*

Next, the premier of HP and the Half Blood Prince!! EEEEEEEEEEEE We have midnight release tickets!! We have to return one set of tickets as we ordered from the wrong theater. We want the one with stadium seating and the recliner chairs!! :) Worth the extra $

Awwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Not so bad...

I suppose my mini half bath wasn't SO bad... My furr is much softer and silkier and my dandruff? WHAT dandruff? I don't see such a thing anymore :)

When I get furminated, it's as if we have gained another cat 'cause I shed so much!!! You'd think the raggies would too considering the amount of fur... But they don't!!!! I think it's 'cause Fido licks the furr off, hence the hairballs!

I don't groom my brothers often, as it's all about me!! I groom myself though 'cause I'm a divo! Oh that rhymed!

3 minute bath!!!!!!!

MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

That's what I said over and over!!! It lasted 3 min as mom only did my torso down to my bum 'cause I was scratching the meow out of Dad (will post pics of his destroyed t-shirt). And yes, my nails were trimmed last week!

Oh I hate baths. I know I knead one once a year for my skin issues on my bum tail area. Mom is certain she got the soap out but not so certain that she got a good scrub into my skin/fur. Doesn't matter, now as a few of you said in my last diary comments, my soon-to-be Hondo Condo won't have cooties in it!!

Seriously, I'm a divo! Purrhaps if I got a bath at a spa like Samoa I might like it more? Or maybe I'll have Mercy's mom give me one as Mercy's baths result in highlights!!!

Update on my Hondo Condo

Sooooooo, I guess the company gets the carpet from somewhere in Georgia. Something to do w/ the economy but they aren't able to buy in bulk like they used to, more on a purrrr kneaded basis (not on their end, but the company that they buy the carpet from).

So when we called 2 weeks ago and the shipment came in? They were short some carpet and the 2nd shipment just came in.

We should have it SOON, hopefully it'll ship by next week *crosses paws*

In the meantime, doomsday is coming... My bath is happening on Tuesday.... Woe is me!! My bum is getting all dandruffy, and I gotta use the shampoo the vet gave us :(

PorkChop turns 1!!!!!

Wow, my lil' fashionisto brother *PorkChop* turns 1 year old in 1.5 hours!! That means Friday June 26th he's a man cat!

I think he's earned the right to use my credit card for shopping now that he's not longer a youngin'

His daddy Monte threw him a pawsome party *HERE* The theme is strolling and his lil' Lambie (the one Sully stole and is keeping hostage).

Please wish my brother a pawsome birthday!!! Mom can't believe he's almost ONE!!!

Woe is me...

Where in the world is my PINK CONDO!!! Mom will call them a billion times on Monday to inquire about it's whereabouts. I say a million 'cause they don't reply to emails and when we leave a phone message we don't get calls back.

Regardless they're a small company, you'd think the $ we're paying when we could have bought a cheaper one would have better customer service. We paid paypal as that was the only option. Worse case if it's not in our place in 45 days we're filing a report.

I'm a divo and want it NOW! Last week they were expecting the carpet as it was special order. I understand but at least pick up your phone/email. So much for helping the economy! :)

Happy Father's Day Dad!!

My dad is pawsome 'cause he'll give me my treats even if mom just gave me some. I mean, seriously... How can he resist my charm and handsome green eyes!

Daddy is the best 'cause he only holds me when I get my nails done (mom does the unthinkable by CUTTING my nails).

I am especially happy that I have my pawsome dad 'cause he's the one who told mom I could get my PINK HONDO CONDO!!!!! I still don't have it, but they just got the carpet in last week as it was on special order.

Dad also has a pink tie and a pink dress shirt! So he and I both are manly enough to sport pink :)

Happy Father's Day daddy!!!

I'd also like to wish *SULLY* a pawsome 4th birthday! Such a youngin'

Pink Hondo Condo being built

PHEW! We finally got a hold of the peeps with my Pink Hondo Condo! I guess they had to order the pink carpet as they're not mass produced ahead of time. The guy know exactly who we were when we called and said that we were inquiring about the PINK PARK PLACE CONDO :) Hehe!! I'm guessing they don't get a lot of requests for the PINK GOODNESS Condo?!?!

Eeeeeeeeeeeee trust me, I will post pics as soon as it's ready! I should have it in 2 weeks TOPS!!!

*chants HONDO CONDO HONDO CONDO HONDO CONDO*

Where is my PINK HONDO CONDO?!?!

No word yet on my condo and we can't seem to get a hold of them!!! We left a phone message and mom just emailed them. HISSSSSSSSSS

We did pay via PayPal so we at least have coverage that way, but c'mon! Customer service isn't what it used to be and mom is talking from limited experience. We hear that back in the day, people actually went out of their way to help, but mom says people just don't care about their jobs like they used to.

I hope my condo comes soon :( We ordered it May 27!!!

Not here yet!

*pouts* My Hondo Condo isn't here yet. It hasn't left the factory yet. Mom remembers when she finished paying, they said about 10-14 days (or was it 7-10 days?). All I know is I saw with my own eyes, something to do w/ 10 days!

I can't wait :)

Grandpaw is coming next month instead. He's busy with work and dad is busy with the campaigns in VA. He'll be on TV tomorrow again! Just local but STILL!!!

Ok, time to watch mom hit the elliptical. She's held off for over an hour :)

Hondo Condo!

I still can't wait for this mother of all condo's comes! Like seriously, I can't wait!! Mom is curious how the UPS dude will lift 150 pounds (even if it is in multiple boxes). A couple years ago we got the Bowflex weight system. The ones where it's technically ONE set of bars, but you can click the outside to adjust the weight, thus making the system very compact.

The UPS dude looked TIRED from bringing those to our door MOL!!!

Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo!

Say it together gang! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo! Hondo Condo!

THANK YOU Mercy, Harry and Pansy!!!

OMC OMC OMC!!! Mom told dad it's up to him to decide what condo to get!!! Mom reminded dad that we bought our old condo December 2006. We have 3 large furniture/condos and 2 scratching posts.

Well December 2008 Boogie wanted a condo for his bday 'cause ours had seen better days. Did he get one? NO!!! :)

Mercy said they bought from the same company (the NEW one that's coming) and theirs is going on 6 years. So dad did the math. If we bought the same one from Dr. Fosters, we would pay the same vs. the pink one... We would come out even in about 6 years...

So... Without further ado... Say goodbye to our *OLD RED CONDO THAT FELL APPART* and hello to our *NEW PINK AND FABULOUS* condo!

We're getting a PINK ONE!!!!! OMC OMC OMC!!! This will be all of our bday presents until further notice, our Catmas 2009 gifts, etc., etc.,

It'll be here in about 10 days or so if memory serves right at checkout.

THANK YOU MERCY, HARRY, AND ENABLER PANSY for helping me shop! I have shopped and now I have dropped!!!

WoAhWOAHwoahWoAh!!!!!!

HOLY CATS!! Harry and I have been looking for scratching posts and I just got a few great links from Mercy!

439 cats celebrate their bday today!

MEOW! We just got on about 30 minutes ago. I was going through some serious internet withdrawal. I wanted to look for a scratching post (pink to be exact!) but of course, we got carpet on my bday. All we have left is the Master bedroom tomorrow!

While I get my party on, dad is unpacking things. It's going to be a LONG night as we still gotta pack up 2 book shelves of books! We had 3 shelves filled with cd's and books in the living room, and that took 12 boxes!

I'd like to thank Pansy furr throwing me a KICK TAIL PINK SUSHI LOVIN' PARTY!! OMC!! I was floored!

I loved how Sawyer was the litter attendant MOL!! Boogitsu is my personal chef.

I'll have to thank everyone who stopped at my party either LATE LATE tonight or tomorrow. I'll also be thanking those who wished me a pawsome bday and/or gave a gifty.

We have a LONG night ahead of us guys!!!

5 years ago today...

It's offically my 6th PINK SUSHI FABULOUS birthday on the East Coast (May 25).

5 years ago today I was adopted from Fancy Cats Rescue (same place Boogie was rescued too).

Mom remembers the day as if it was yesterday. The foster meowmy came to our home and dropped me off personally!!! At the time, we had a doggie named Snooper and we all wanted to make sure the doggie would be nice to me. She was!!!

I made myself at home while the foster lady meowed w/ my pawrents. I walked out of my crate and made myself comfy on the top of the sofa MOL!!!

The rest is history :)

Pansy is throwing me an all day party *HERE*

I'm told I get to pick out a scratching post of my choice!! *sticks tongue out at Boogie* You see, he wanted one for Catmas as our red one is about to die *we tore it up!!* and cat treats :)

SO IF ANYONE knows where to buy a FABULOUS PINK scratching post?!?! LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Pansy for throwing me a party!! Will update later 'cause we're about to disconnect our internet as the humans are going to bed. Our carpet dudes are coming tomorrow so we won't be by the party until later...

Birthday Pressies!! And there's PINK GOODNESS INSIDE!!

MEOW! I just got done writing Truffles that we got their package today in the mail!!

Mom was teaching but just finished so now we can upload pics and do a diary!

OMC! I got the prettiest PINK HEART BLANKET in the world!! It's so soft! I told *ANGEL KASHMERE* that I am certain she picked it out :) She's my pink buddy 4ever!!

But that's not all! I got a pretty card with a pink border and it's all frilly, the way I like it :) I got my favorite treats, "Party Mix" chicken/turkey/chedder flavor, a Kitty Hoots sardine, and a squeak toy "Earl the Turtle" :) When I was posing mom broke out the Party Mix. Naturally the rest of the gang was all up in my face! HMPH!

Thank you so much guys for making my 6th bday so pawsome!! Posting pics once mom uploads!!!

Shoppin'

Yesterday my pawrents stocked up on dry food and moist! PetSmart had a great sale on food! We saved $49.xx using our PetSmart card!! We were hoping "Fancy Cats" was at the store to donate our allowance but they weren't there this weekend.

Boogs and I were adopted from there and we use our would-be zealie allowance towards their organization when they're around.

In the meantime, we saw our FAVORITE treats were on sale! Boogie really only likes Tempations yellow chicken packs and Party Mix. Porkers ONLY likes Party Mix. He liked the other stuff before, but once he had Party Mix? He never looked back.

I however, love ALL TREATS!

I wonder if my pawrents stocked up on treats for my bday? That's all I want from them 'cause we really don't knead anything. That or a big fancy schmancy pink bed with pink ruffles and feathers and diamonds and pearls and... and... :)

New dude in town!!

Meet this handsome lil' dude *Truffles* awwwwwwww isn't he cute?!?!

He's from the family of Picasso and is coming home TONIGHT!! Yes tonight!!! Auntie Barbi wanted to adopt a cat from the shelter for her birthday and also in remembrance of Kashmere, my pink forever bestie!

He has a pawsome family and we can't wait to see him grow up!!! WOOHOO!! He is CUTE! Concats!!!!

What? No Pink for Mother's Day?

We all surprised mom with a medium sized heart SS locket from Tiffany's. She was super surprised and had been eying that for a while. The chain we bought wasn't the kind she liked, and since it happens to be the most popular one (what ever that oooo link looking one is) it's back ordered but we'll be getting a call Wednesday to pick it up. While we were there, mom also picked out her late Bday gift. She wanted the travel case and picked out Tiffany Blue.

As my brother's have all mentioned, I was a bit upset we didn't get pink. Pink goes with everything!! Even orange!! Yes it does! But alas I was out numbered and blue won.

I am happy though that Dad listened to me and made mom canned tuna fish w/ mayo sushi (we don't like raw fish). It's something we sorta made up and it's good. At least I wasn't out numbered by this MOL

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's!

Purrr for my lil' bro Tiskers please.

Taken from Boogie's diary:

Mommy Samantha here. I am home with my baby Tiskers but it is with great difficulty that I report that the news isn't great.

I had noticed 2 days ago that Tiskers was breathing differently. He was on the computer desk with me and had a bad dream. When he woke up and calmed down, his breathing seemed more labored than normal. I could see that his sides were going in and out more than normal. Looking at the others, it was obvious that Tiskers breathing pattern was different.

Having never really payed attention to his breathing, for all I knew, this was "normal" but it wasn't normal for him as I would have seen this.

He had an appointment today at 11AM with the vet. While the vet heard no heart murmur, and things felt fine (other than a full bladder), we agreed to do blood tests and a Radiograph (x-rays of his heart/lungs).

The heart looked fine from the Radiograph, but near the lung area, there was what appeared to be some blockage (I forget what he said). So they took 2 more from different angles. We laughed as poor Tiskers had a lot of poopie in the x-ray...

I agreed that we should look into this more and he was able to get me into the Cardiologist in Leesburg, VA (15-20 min drive). Dan dropped me off as he had to go to class as it's finals week.

They took me back and I gave them the Radiograph CD and blood results (which were great!). They did an Ultra sound and Eciograph (spelling?). And while he told me the results, I just stood there numb.

Diagnosis:
-Moderate to borderline severe juvenile onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
-Severe posterior wall and apical left ventricular hypertrophy
-Mild left atrial chamber dilation
-Congestive heart failure manifested by pleural effusion

He is on Diltiazem 30mg 2x a day, Lasix/Furosemide 12.5 mg 2x a day, and Children's Apsril 81 mg (1/2 tab 2x weekly)

The outcome depends on how he takes the medicine. If he vomits and doesn't eat, then there's plan B, aka different meds.

Basically, to dumb it down... He had mild heart failure when we brought him in (he did get a Lasix shot), the left side of his heart is affected. The walls are thick in the left ventricular and there was fluid in the left av___ (forget what part of the heart). Unfortunately he won't have the long life we had hoped. The Cardiologist said he had a cat earlier with very similar readings who was here today for his 5 month checkup. But he did say, unfortunately, not to be morbid, since he is so young, he's guessing a year... As long as there's no clots (which can paralyze a cat and are PAINFUL), there will be no suffering and it would be quick.

Please keep my baby in your prayers. He's such a mommy's boy and I'm just devastated. We have been aware that Main Coons and Raggies are prone to getting Cardiomyopathy. They are not born with it.

I'd like to thank Barbi for being there the moment I got the news and for doing a diary entry for me and my baby Tiskers. Catster is a great place and a wealth of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your purrs.

Dan is going to Target to fill the prescriptions and I'm going to spend time with my baby...

Thank you,
Samantha and Tiskers

Pink Poncho!

How could I forget about the pawsome pink poncho Pansy gave me last year?! It took a while to find the pictures in photobucket, but we found them!!!

I wish I had a pink poncho in real life. Can you imagine? Even though I don't wear clothes often, when I do, I sure do wear 'em good! Funny 'cause I probably pose the best with them after Boogie.

I managed to put that bath on hold 'cause dad has a lot of campaign things going on, but I have a feeling it'll happen very soon. Thankfully, not this weekend 'cause dad works... *phew*

Bath?

I heard the worstest words ever uttered by a human... "Bath". Oh dear... I mentioned in my last diary that I'm due for my annual bath... I have a feeling it'll happen Monday or Tuesday...

Can I stay at anyone's house for the next few days? I don't eat much and I can give you free fashion tips!!!!

*runs*

Dander

This entire week, while very humid (today it's raining though), I've been extra Dandery!!! Grandpaw even said my skin felt different than the others. So I have this sneaking feeling that my annual bath is coming :(

I have special shampoo from the Vet that helps my skin. I'm not going to be a happy camper!!

We're getting new carpet soon. Dad has to organize things with the carpet peeps. I hope they get pink!

Thanks!

Thanks for all the concats for my DDP yesterday and for wishing my meowmy a Happy 31st Birthday!

We're all having a blast with Grandpaw!! He's here until next Wednesday. Yesterday they went to Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. The weather here is soooooo nice! Today it's almost 90!

Grandpaw says the weather is super nice as he left the 40-50 degree weather back home in MN :) MOL!

We'll be back in full swing once he leaves. We're missing the meowathon right now as we just got back from getting ice cream! We're off to dinner now!!!

I'm a DDP on my mom's Birthday!!!!!!

Ooooooooo! Not only am I a DDP today, but today is my mom's 31st birthday!!! Happy Birthday mom!

Notice how early this entry is! They're leaving in a few to go to Baltimore, MD as they want to see the Inner Harbor :) Mom hasn't been there since a grad school audition back in 2001!!

And to make things even better? She's wearing this CUTE pink top! I picked it out for her to wear along with a pair of cute brown shorts :) She gets her fashion tips from me :)

Also this is my first DDP of the year! Dang, I was in a dry spell!

Happy Birthday to my niece Paws!!!!

My adopted niece Paw's is 6 years young today!! My nephew Murray threw her an all day party *HERE*

Also tomorrow, April 24th, is my mom's 31st Birthday!! Both Paws and my mom share the amazing birthstone: diamond :) While mom won't get a diamond this year for her birthday she is hoping to visit Tiffany's tomorrow... Just to... "Look" MOL!

Hope you have a great Birthday Paws and Love you mom!!!

Kashmere is an Angel :(

*KASHMERE* suddenly passed to Rainbow Bridge April 21, 2009 :(

Barbi was going to bed, and all of a sudden, Kashmere made a loud noise, was convulsing, and she died in her mom's arms.

This just happened before midnight EST. Barbi is going to the vet in the morning and will get an autopsy.

We're so sorry for Barbi and family. This is very sudden and random as she was healthy!! She has no idea what happened nor do we.

Solid Gold!

SCORE! Mom and dad stocked up on Solid Gold yesterday! They bought 16 of the large cans as they were on sale for $2.09 each instead of the usual $2.29 or something.

SCORE! It's really the only moist food I like besides Tiki :)

My pawrents just got back from shopping. They bought a laptop and mom was bummed 'cause dad didn't want to get the PINK ONE!! I too am BUMMED!!! Mom told me the pink laptop was soooooooooooooo pretty pink!! Dad said "No way am I typing on a pink laptop"

*pouts*

Happy Easter!

Gosh, the entire family is fighting over the computer!!! You see late afternoon on Friday (it was NOT good Friday in our home!) our internet connection went out the window! We were without the typy for over 48 hours!! Mom was most upset about this as she doesn't watch TV and the internet is her entertainment when she kneads a break from us :)

And then it was a long day on Saturday as dad was working Easter Weekend, so she couldn't even go to the HP Meowathon! In fact, she couldn't make an official announcement to the group 'cause again, NO INTERNET! She can read catster email on her BB Bold, but replying to groups and friends via pawmails don't seem to work... Anyone else w/ the BB Bold have this issue??

Wishing everyone had a Happy Easter! As soon as we're all done doing diaries, we gotta finish up our Easter Gifts!

My niece is growing up!

*sigh* Phoebe is going to marry Gimme in May. They had to postpone as Gimme's grandpaw was ill.

Good thing I have connections! Ramone said I could still get the hall for their wedding as I'm "family". I have all my decorations ready to go!

Besides, gives me a few more months to get into shape. I think I am getting a bit bigger? I try to stay at 14 pounds but I think with my old age, I'm almost 15 pounds. Will have to check my weight soon :)

Treats!

Woah! We just checked our pages, and saw that Fido has a billion (not really) treats!!! Poor dude... I believe that Boogers and Mittens take a pawful each time they check their pawmail :)

I'm watching my figure so I don't knead many treats on my page :) Besides, every morning, when my brothers (sans me and Porkers) get their moist food, we get our treats!

Porkers is a picky eater. He hates most moist (99.99%) and only seems to like Greenies and the Party Mix treats. I however, will eat ALL treats :)

Mom DID go shopping!

Hark! Mom went shopping! She got some clothes, makeup, and her and dad both bought the BlackBerry Bold phone! *hmph* I don't remember mom asking ME to accompany her! After all, it was MY idea to go shopping! The nerve!

And they didn't even bring me and my brothers treats! Tell you what... Next time there's a sale, you won't see me informing them :)

I think I'm going to do retail therapy because I couldn't go shopping :)

I smell shopping!

Last night mom went through her closet and threw out a lot of clothes she didn't like before. Stacy and Clinton from TLC's what not to wear would be proud. Mom got rid of ALL her horizontal stripped shirts! The thing is, that's all the stores have! Hard to find vertical stripes!

Mom hasn't gone clothes shopping in many MANY years. She bought some new jeans recently but that's about it. But she said next month before Grandpaw comes, she's going to go clothes shopping.

I wish I could help 'cause dad isn't much help. When mom tries on things she asks him, "How's this look?" and he goes, "Fine" MOL

Maybe I can accompany mom?

Will Piglet be there?

*SNOWMITTS* turns 3 tomorrow! The one thing I like about Winnie the Pooh is there's this lil' dude named Piglet and he is fabulous and PINK!!!

There's an all day party *HERE* . Me and my brothers just got done setting up things! He loves Winnie the Pooh so that's the theme!

Happy Birthday Dude!!!!! I hope Piglet will be there!

Pink! Princess! Oh my!!

In the famous words of *PANSY* , "Oh my oh my oh my"!!! Boogie is throwing her a fabulous 11th birthday as she's celebrating her birthday Sunday March 15, 2009!!!

There's an all day party *HERE*

I gotta give Boogie props for doing a PINK theme! And the food selection is to HER liking! Way to go Boogie!!!

Secret Admirer!

Oooooooo mom just got on the computer and saw that all 6 of us got some yummy catnip bubble champagne goodness on our pages and the message says,

"A
little
bubbly
...
from
a
SECRET
admirer
;-)"

W ow thanks Secret Admirer! Oh we like playing games! I wonder who done it!! Unfortunately I won't be able to crack the case until Thursday when mom gets her 30+ stitches out of her eye lids.

I'm also purrring for Gimme's Grandpaw who's set for surgery today I believe! I'm so behind on Catster! I haven't done a diary in 10 days! *gasp*

Not much is new w/ us other than we're holding the fort down and taking care of mom.

Thank you Secret Admirer on behalf of my entire family!!!

LOTS of birthdays!!!!!!

Wow, a lot of birthday's this month! Today is Mercy's birthday!! She's such a good looking cat! MROWWW! She has some fabulous outfits!

And then Miles is turning 30 March 3rd!

Evil Pansy also has a birthday the 15th of this month!

Mom's favorite Raggie after ours, Snowmitts is a St. Patty's Day cat!

And then the twins, Enzo and Melody are celebrating their birthday March 19!!

My buddy Jasper (I think of him as Jasper the crab due to his pics) on March 26! He's growing up!! He'll be 2!!!

Then there's Jaspurr who has a bday on March 27!

But that's not all! Last but not least, COTW Colleen is celebrating her birthday on March 29!

Done some shopping

Ahhhh yes, I have done some shopping. I helped mom pick out a few gifts as she had asked for my help. Better her money than mine!

Mom's almost done with her list of Wii games to buy. Mario cart is on the list as a lot of you said to get that. Mom is almost tempted to try the HP games on wii as we have them on PS3. Hmmmmm

Meanwhile mom keeps checking out homes as they're a lot cheaper now. I guess if you can call $400k cheap for a condo. Homes here are about $150k cheaper so that's good! Townhomes are still over a half mil though so we'll see. We want an end one, NEW home (not a previously owned one), so it makes our search harder.

Ok, time to play against my friends on FB! Sorry we haven't been on Catster as much other than diaries, the HP group and checking corrals. Catster gets quieter and quieter each year.

Snuggles!

The past few days I've been on the human bed more than my pink beds! I don't know why and nor do my pawrents!

Last night I actually woke them up as I was purrrrring loud! When mom woke up, I was right next to her feet sleeping!

I never do this! I guess I want a change? Change from my old sleeping habits? Or maybe I'm turning into a kneady cat all of a sudden... Mom sure likes this change in my behavior!

Wii it is!!

So after getting great pawmails and reviews from friends, we're sold on the Wii and Wii fit!! In fact, mom is getting tips from my friends on what games to get :) Mom is a huge gamer!

Thanks guys for all the 411 on the Wii! You do realize that once we get it, there'll be a NEWER version of Wii coming out... It always happens to us...

We still are going to get the Total Gym 'cause dad wants it. Mom said she'll try it but it looks hard and she doesn't like to sweat :)

In the meantime, I adopted Paws as my adopted niece 'cause she's family yo! And she's marrying my nephew Murray!! *beams with pride*

My nephew is engaged!!!

Ooooooooooooo!!! My handsome nephew *Murray* is engaged to the beautiful *
Pawstuctaway Serengeti !!! I'm so excited for them! OMC!!! Two good looking cats!!!

Here's to many happy memories guys!! *wipes tear* Concats you two!!!!!!

Wii or total gym...

So my pawrents are thinking of ordering the total gym and/or Wii + Wii Fit. Mom gets tired of doing weights, squats, elliptical, so she thought she'd change things up a bit.

Mom's always liked games (more than dad if you can believe it!) so she's thinking this would make it more enjoyable. Mom said she has to loose her love in the mid section MOL

PM me if you have suggestions!

Pink mousie!!

Oh boy oh boy!! We got a nice Vday package from our besties Kashmere and family! PorkChop got a very cute Vday card from his daddy Monte. We got some really cute gifts! Inside there was a very pretty heart box and inside red socks with Mr. Cupid on them for mom! Next a very pretty red sash with silver hearts on it. Inside were two catnip pillows with Vday print, a white sparkle ball (that'll go to Fido since mom accidentally threw the one he got for his bday from Monte and family MOL) and a very pretty pink BIG mousie! I'm certain Kashmere put that in for me :)

But that's not all! We got another baggie with candy chocolate hearts and a box of Sweethearts for mom! I don't know if mom will share with dad MOL!!

Thank you guys so much! Pics to be posted later!

We also got a Valentine's Day card from Gimli! Wow! Thanks dude!

Party!!!

One of our besties is 4 years young today! *ASPEN* is another year old and looking great! There's an all day party *HERE* that his wonderful girlfriend is throwing for him!!!

The theme is Winnie the Pooh!!! Oh look at all the cute decorations!!

Wishing our pawrents a Happy 6th Wedding Annifurrrsary today too!!!!

I'm too high maintenance !

So Boogie is all giddy now that he and Pansy are each others Valentine. He's stepping in since Robert will be gone for a bit. I told him, "The pressure is on dude, DO NOT mess this up! You know Robert will kick your tail if you don't treat her like a Princess".

Especially given their track record... I thought for sure they'd be on good terms after Catmas '08 truce! WRONG! When will they learn...

I am too high maintenance to have a girl at the moment. I'm all about me... I'm a divo!

Ok, time to calm mom down. She gets her first filling ever today... Hey, first cavity in 30 years considering she's a pop-a-holic? Pretty darn good!

24 cases of pop and 12 Free 2 lt of pop!

Oooooooo! So the superbowl food sales are going on! I watch Football, don't play it 'cause I'd break a nail...

Well after work, dad went straight to the Grocery Store. 7:30 AM the stores are usually empty. It worked out as he had just gotten off of his shift. Anymeow, they had a sale 4 12-packs of pop for $10 plus you get 2 free 2lt of pop!!! SCORE!!!

Dad bought $60 of pop and came home with 24 cases and 12 of those huge 2 lt. of pop! MOL!!!! We're pop-a-holics in the family... Mom and dad don't drink. This should last 3-4 months :)

Normally pop is 2 for $8 here so we stocked up!!!! Ready for the superbowl even though dad works it :) He doesn't care anyway about sports (likes hearing the scores, but he's not a huge sport fan)

My weather liar isn't lying for once!

Hark! There's 1/16th of an inch of snow if that on the ground! I'm sure all of DC will be a mess with that white stuff falling from the sky...

I know it's not my dandruff as mom put this Lavender spa stuff near my bum. I'm the only one with dry skin :(

Here's hoping we don't get an ice storm! The part of VA we live in doesn't get much snow (well as does most of VA) but we are notorious for getting an ice storm each year... And the ice is about a GOOD inch thick and it's a mess...

Grandpaw is going to TX in 2 hours as mom just got off the phone w/ him. They're supposed to get ice too... DANG... He was hoping to get away from the -9 degree weather he's been experiencing in MN... MOL

I have a twin!

And his name is *ENZO* The only difference is I weigh more, am older and have a white chest.

But we both have that creme area around our nose and mouth. I always knew he'd grow up to be a handsome dude...

He's quite agile! Look at him hide inside cabinets and how he can "sit" and scratch the post! Wow, impressive! I wonder if he loves water as much as me...

Mommy love!

Lately I have been snuggling with my pawrents on the bed. Normally I sleep on the floor or in a bed as the rest of my bros hog the bed. But I found that mom takes up less space on the bed than dad and have been visiting her lately. I purrr LOUD like Mittens (the rest of the gang purrs quietly) and wake up mom :)

I want my pounce treats!! Speaking of, the new Friskee's "Party Mix" is da bomb! ALL of us (which is rare) like these treats!! In the past, we all like certain treats (me pounce, greenies, etc, Boogie temptations, etc.,) but we all love the new Party Mix! It's like when mom takes 2 packages and combines them for a "mixture" of treats but BETTER!

Birthday Boy Fidey!!!

Our brother Fido is turning 3 on January 15, 2009 (2009 NOT 2008 like his banner says MOL)

All day party *HERE* thanks to his lovely wife Allie!!! What a great party! Twilight theme!!

Mom will be gone from 6-8pm EST as she has to teach a few lessons but otherwise it's an all day party!

Off to catch up on catster as our pawrents just got home!!!

What do you mean, "Pink" would be a BAD choice?!?!

*gasp* So mom is going to paint the office this week and she gets to pick out the color scheme. Naturally I suggested PINK but she said no!!! *gasp*

She's thinking a sage color or a grayish-blue or something. She's never painted before so this should be interesting. Dad will be helping with the high areas as he's 6'2" and mom is petite.

Doesn't mom watch Trading Spaces? We don't watch Extreme makeover 'cause mom doesn't like it, but regardless, she SHOULD know what color schemes work. I still don't know why PINK is outta the question...

Mom finally goes to work today!

After 2 long weeks off from teaching, mom hits the grind again. Well, she only teaches about 3-4 hours a week if you can call that work. The money has always been just for fun as she's been a housewife for over a year (dad suggested she quit her job). In the meantime, she's still looking into more codes for dad's website. Dad is home for 4 days!! With the economy being so bad, they've cut down on his OT so we've been more budget conscious (well trying to). We're used to dad working a few days of OT as the extra money was what we used for buying fun stuff.

I hope they don't ask me to share my modeling money... I worked hard for that! Of course, I would help if knead be :)

Brrrr it's cold outside!

Even our pet from PS has a pink sink!

Like many people, mom's on facebook after a friend told her she had to join. Since then she's gotten reacquainted with some high school and college buddies. A few months ago we installed this application from FB called "Pet Society". Well today mom saw that their "new" furniture this week was none other than a pink sink!

So we had enough coins to get it. I'm so proud of my mom for putting in the pink sink for our pet from pet society!

Happy New Year!

So it's officially 2009!! We all slept in (got about 10 hours!) and now mom is moving furniture to make room for new furniture. We finally found a huge bookcase with glass to protect mom's favorite books, namely HP and Twilight. One of the twins (probably Tiskers) when they were kittens put a couple of teeth marks in the dust jacket. Mom was not happy. Since then her books have been covered with blankets to protect them.

But the shipment should arrive tomorrow so we will be helping mom assemble it. Dad works all weekend so this will keep us busy :)

*bonks*

What's your New Years Resolution?

Mine is to be less scared when things change. I don't like change... I also want to try and be more cooperative when I get my pictures taken. I can't help I'm a divo but at the same time I don't like to take pictures unless I'm modeling. I am the shy one of the family but at the same time I'm a love bug when I want to. I have a HUGE fascination with water and I kit you know, but when my humans get out of the shower I come RUNNING to them as I like the smell of fresh water!

Even when mom cleans the water filter or refills the reservoir, I come RUNNING so I can be the first to drink the yummy fresh water!

We shall see how I do in 2009 with my Resolution :)

Santa Paws visited :)

Dang, I fell alseep again and missed seeing Santa! We made sure we turned our fireplace somewhat low so he wouldn't get burnt MOL

Anymeow we got a big box of Meow Mix "Wholesome Goodness" seafood pack and a sage thermal bed that plugs into the wall! Back in the summer when I had that bad UTI, I uh... Ruined the thermal bed that Skeezix sent us from a contest :( Boogie was sooooooooo upset 'cause that was probably his favorite bed! So alas, Santa Paws DOES know things!!!

EEeeeeeeee :)

PS, mom's working on my pictures with the beds :) Doesn't she know a DIVO NEVER works on holiday's? I knead beauty sleep!

Ever seen a "Hondo" bed?

Me either! Until... The UPS dude just left a huge box for ME! It had my name on it!

Inside was a card of a cat named Murray. Don't believe me? Well it said so! And speaking of, the package was from *MURRAY AND FAM*

They sent me a gray tabby bed that looks like me! What a handsome bed :) It even has a pink nose like me! Mom is looking for some more AA batteries so she can take a picture of me inside my Hondo bed MOL!!!!!

Thank you guys!

I wanted to wish all my friends a Meowy Catmas and a Happy New Year!! Enjoy time with your extended family and here's to a FABULOUS 2009!!!

Harry Potter Bday for Boogie!!

Wow! Boogie's bestie Pansy is throwing him a 5th bday party *HERE*

He turns 5 December 23, 2008 (Tuesday) so there's an all day party for him. The theme is Harry Potter and Tiki of course!!! I'm off to get my party shoes on :)

Also today we got a huge package from Kashmere and family! Inside were our catmas gifts and Boogie got a very nice bday gift (read his diary). We got: A cute stocking with Monte on the front and a candy cane inside, some cat food for Porkers, 2 holiday balls and a white festive mousie, a reindeer catnip filled toy, and a Santa paws play wand!! They also sent mom a YUMMY Yankee *sugar plum* which is one of mom's FAVORITE scents! Also she got two pairs of warm sockies (one has a cute cat on them) MOL!! Thank you so much guys!! We also got a nice picture card of Cannoli and Picasso in the mail :)

Speaking of cards, we also got a handsome picture card of Sammie and KiKi, a really pretty home made card from Remus and family, and Chrissy in NJ sent us a card WITH some of her cat furr inside!! MOL!! Thanks guys!!

Are you ID chipped???

Yesterday mom spent all day updating our info as all 6 of us are ID chipped with Home Away. Apparently about a year ago, their old www addy was changed to their current one. Also they made changes (and for the better).

The twins and Porkers are on the new system, but me, Fido, and Boogie are on the old system but were grandfathered in so we didn't have to pay an annual fee. Mom upgraded us to full coverage which is cool!

-We get 2 id cards per year (like a license w/ our info!)
-Up to $3000 insurance for medical bills if we get lost and get hurt
-An Amber alert if you will, up to 25 miles from where we were last scene which they send our info to all the vets in the area
-one more thing but we forgot :)

Mom figures for about a $1 a month per cat, it'll give her more peace of mind in case something happens to us. We're all trained to stay away from doors but you never know ::knock on wood::

Here's my *PIC* Spiffy no?

Brrrrrr

It's cold out but not as cold as it is in the midwest and Canada!!! Grandpaw said yesterday morning in MN it was -15 out, and the high was a whopping 0 degrees F!!!

Mom so does NOT miss those days!! I'm all snuggly in my Cat in the clover divo bed along with my pink scarf :) I don't mind it on but when I drink water it gets a bit wet, and then I hate the feeling of wet collar fringes on my hair.

This week is mom's last week of teaching until Jan 8th! YAY!! More mom time! Stay warm kitties!

Fido is getting married to Allie!

Ooooo the time is almost here! I am surprising my brother Fido and adopted niece by taking care of the cake, venue, first dance, food, party favors, etc., as they are tying the tail tomorrow December 15, 2008 @4pm Catster/7pm EST. Hazel Lucy will be officiating *HERE*

Time to pick up my tuxedo at the cleaners!

Wedding details!!!!!

*wipes tears* My lil' brother Fido and adopted Niece Allie are tying the tail Monday December 15, 2008 at 7pm EST!!

I remember like it was just yesterday that Fido came into our home, and then Allie became family... *gets teary*

I can't wait to see them tie the knot! Hazel Lucy is officiating for them and EVERYONE is invited! It'll be held in the Virtual Play area on the forums. Details to follow :)

A very VERY sad day on Catster...

Mom is crying while typing and is just so devastated... It is with deepest regret that I inform you that *Picasso* has passed onto Rainbow bridge.

Mom just got off the phone with Picasso's mom and we promised her we'd inform her friends in diaries, groups, and some personal pawmails.

As you've read in his latest diaries he hasn't been eating as much (and we know he had a good appetite), but his mom was concerned and brought him to the vet. On his way there, he started to breath very heavy since he had Cardiomyopathy. The vet did administer a Lasix shot which usually helps. His heart was hard to listen to as there was a lot of fluids in the heart. The vet said that he would be ok to go home as there wasn't much they could do that wasn't done already. They decided to let Picasso go home, try and relax as a vet visit is stressful for a LOT of cats. After Barb paid for the bill, she was 2 steps out of the vet's door when Picasso started to breath and make loud sounds.

We're all in disbelief, shock, and very upset to say that Picasso went to the bridge today due to congestive heart failure. His mom went WELL and beyond to care for Picasso... Our family is SO HONORED to have met him 2x. He truly is a remarkable cat. We have all received a very special angel from the Bridge who is looking down on all of us.

I'm so sorry Barb and Rob. We are beyond sad to hear of this news... *hugs*

21 days till Catmas!

Geeze, even the month of December is already flying by! Mom's waiting for dad to come home from 4 hours at the Academy. They are required to do so many hours of classes every 2 years (I think 40 hours every 2 years). It's OT so dad doesn't mind but we do have a lot of errands to do.

Since dad got called in last night, they didn't do grocery shopping until 8pm! They usually go shopping once a month which results in a HUGE cart (or two) of stuff! I'm glad they stocked up on cod, that's good stuff and also healthy.

Mom resisted the sharp cheddar cheese balls, she said they aren't good for you (but they ARE good).

Up early for shopping sales...

One would think since we've been up since 2:30 AM EST!! Mom was sooooooooooo tired last night she went to bed at 8:30 PM!!! MOL She's working on getting her schedual to daddy's since he's now on days this month.

We pre-ordered the Twilight score soundtrack and placed an order for "HP: HBP wall calender". Mom really liked that movie! A LOT!!! She ordered *Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion * and something for dad which should arrive tomorrow. We can't wait to receive *The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector's Edition * which will arrive December 4th!!

I wonder what WE'RE getting from our pawrents? Boogie still wants a new scratching post, but I'm certain it won't happen... I bet it's 'cause he was evil to Pansy :)

Doing what I do best...

Shopping online! I don't blame stores for not letting cats inside the doors (PetSmart/Petco don't count). I mean, what if I saw a pawsome pink outfit and it was the LAST one?! What if another cat was eying it like me? There'd be a cat fight for sure!!!

So alas, online is the way to go. We bought most of our gifts online 'cause some you can't buy at PetSmart. Mom has been finding great deals online for her friends.

In fact, one of mom's friends sent her her Catmas gift! She got a cute cat calender, a cat notepad and a Sotheby's catalog! For those who don't know, mom is really into quality diamonds and jewelry. She doesn't own much but what she owns is pretty spiffy. Anymeow, the catalog is a bunch of items that were up for auction last year. They're great coffee table books! AND GREAT eye candy! I'm pretty sure you can only get them if you attend the auctions? But often ebay has them. The catalogs feature different things in each one: coins, jewelry, art paintings, etc., and the auctions are in NY, Hong Kong, and only a few other places around the world I believe.

It's fun to look at them. There was a lot of million dollar items. Wowsas!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope all my friends had a pawsome Turkey Day! Dad left for work and I'm here holding down the fort, protecting mom from the cold weather and keeping her company as she reads the last book in the Twilight series :)

Catmas is in less than a month! Holy Cats! As much as I love shopping, we do NOT do black Friday!! No way!!! Too stressful...

Tagged by Winston (who doesn't hate Pink MOL)

I got a Thanksgiving Tag from *WINSTON*

I have to list five things I'm thankful for. Here goes! I am thankful for:

1. Having a kick tail family!
2. Having food, water, and a place to call home :)
3. Thankful that I have great friends on Catster
4. Thankful that there's the bestest food in the world: TIKI!
5. Thankful that I'm healthy :)

Have a safe and fantastic Thanksgiving friends!

Birthday Party Directions!!!!!

In 30 min on the East Coast, my niece Allie and nephew Murray will both will be celebrating their 3rd birthday Wednesday, November 26!!!! ! I can't wait!

Be sure to attend their all day party *HERE*

Fido and Murray's beautiful girlfriend Pawstuctaway are throwing them both a party! Feel free to help decorate! There's plenty of food and cake and goodies!

Happy Birthday Murray! Happy Birthday Allie!!! I hope you two have the bestest birthday yet!!! Love Unkie Hondo!!

Happy 28th Birthday dad!

I've been busy planning birthday parties!

You see, my dad turns 28 today and tomorrow my niece and nephew, Allie and Murray celebrate their birthday!

Been working overtime on preparing a party for them. And I know they're NOT reading my diary 'cause I'm sure they're busy sleeping on their comfy bed that I picked out :) MOL Also, I'm SURE they're playing with toys 'cause they're youngins', and that's what they do.

They have no time to read their old Unkie's diary :)

Thanks for the pawmails wishing Dad a Happy Bday and Miles for the Pie! He loves deserts, and Mercy and family for the football as he loves sports! And Teebo, Callie and Family for the cupcake!

3 bday's this week!

Well it's already November 23 on the East Coast so technically there are 3 bday's this week!

My niece and nephew, *ALLIE* and *MURRAY* are going to have a bday and party (shhhhhhhh, don't tell!) on the 26th!!! Did you check out their pawsome beds? I picked them out! Well, I picked Murray's out (it matches his fur!) and Fido of course picked the other for his fiancee Allie :)

The day prior my dad turns 28! Yup, he's younger than mom :)

Holy Cats! DDP!!!

Wow!!! I haven't been a DDP since August if you don't include when I was a featured diary for a week :)

Not only am I featured but two of my friends are!! Ambrogino and Chelsea Louise! Pawsome!

Mom just got on the computer now. The past 3 days we have been making it hard for her to get sleep :) And then dad was snoring like a mac truck last night. So today they did errands: ordered contacts (mom's are avail at 1-800-contacts), got the tire fixed (a screw was in it!), and went to the bank.

Ok, time to check all my pawmail and read the messages friends have left!!

--

Thank you: Hazel Lucy (pawmail), Sir Sonny Bono (pawmail), Pansy (pawmail and yes I blame Boogie), Buddie always loved (pawmail), Mathis der Meowler and fam (shades), Bailey and the gang (turkey), Hooch (turkey), Ambrogino (drumstick), Samoa and fam (pilgrim hat), Isis (trophy), Enzo (PINK shrimp), Kashmere (football), Sawyer and fam (drumstick), Murray (trophy--check out his new bed made by Calvin's mom!), Teebo and Callie (football, dang 20 degrees?!), Chelsea Louise (power of the paw), Daisy/Sugar and fam (pilgrim hat), Rocky Ann (PINK rosette), Baby-G (drumstick), KiKi (drumstick), The Family of Chai Latte (PINK rosette), Margo (turkey), Freddie H. Mac (drumstick), Allie and fam (drumstick)

Freezing my tail off!

It's so cold!! Today my mom brushed me and she noticed my furr was thicker, so that means the winter coat has set in.

I like winter 'cause I don't sneeze (I have mild allergies), however, I have dry skin all year round, so I'm embarrassed to say I have a bit more flakes on my bod... I might knead to go to the spa!

Anyway, mom sent dad out to get "On the Border" for dinner as we're low on food... Exciting things or tons of chores always knead to be attended to on Thursday-Friday it seems. Of course, those are the days mom teaches... Glad I don't have to go outside to get food! Nothing beats dry food and my Tiki :)

Weather liars!

Our lady says 40 degrees... I beg to differ! It's cold out! I'm snuggling against my Hazel Lucy blanket on the couch right now. Mom is trying to warm up... Stinks how in 36 hours it dropped 30+ degrees!! Brrrrrr

I think mom will have soup for dinner so she can warm up!!

Give me treats!!

So in our home, we have dry food out 24/7 and we get a half a can each of moist around 7-8AM, and sometimes we get a snack around dinner time (moist, usually 1 can between us 5 big dudes, and the lil' dude gets to eat more frequent as he's a young lil' dude).

We get Tiki usually every 3-4 days. So on the days we don't get that, I get my treats! I'm hoping mom will get more water in the fridge so I can "beg" for my treats!! Me and Tiskers are the big treat eaters. Boogie is touch and go, so what he doesn't eat, I GET :)

I really want treats... I'm rubbing against mom wanting treats... Mmm

Brother for sale?!?!

*sigh* So news is spreading like wild fire in our home.... Boogie has his furr in a bunch as he has been informed that Robert is back... I don't think Boogie thought of what he might do considering he's been unleashing a bunch of Turkey's!

Seriously, Boogie is all meow and no action :) Brother for sale?

I'm happy to hear that Smudge's cooker is installed and now they are all moved in their new home!!! Smudge is one of our favorite Tortie cats ever! SO pretty!!!

Ok, time to figure out what to make for dinner... Mom has porkchops unthawing (NO NOT OUR BROTHER) but she's not in the mood to cook... Yesterday mom made tuna sushi (tuna in a can w/ mayo, english cucumber). It's not the REAL version of sushi, but mom won't do raw fish!

Could it be?

That mom has found a book that doesn't make her stop half way through and re-read our beloved Harry Potter?

There are a ton of books out there but nothing will ever come close to Harry Potter. We all love the British Chick Lit, Non-Fiction, etc., but no matter what new genre we read, we keep coming back to HP. We're not by any means Sci-Fi fans...

Well, mom took the plunge and ordered the 4 books in the Twilight series. After all, there's a movie coming out this month based on the first book!

Well, while this is NO HP (you really can't compare them to one another), when mom got her books the other day, she sat down, with me next to hear, and started reading... HOLY CATS! It's good stuff!!! It was funny 'cause Gordy and Simba's mom were both proud of us MOL

We're over half way done w/ book 1, but you cats knead to check it out! Hondosan gives it 5 paws!

Where does the time go?

D'oh! I'm almost 4 days late on doing my first diary for the month of November! November is a nice month as it's cool enough for mom and dad to wear jeans and actually layer their clothes.

I can't believe it's November already! Mom and dad were talking earlier before dad left for work and it's hard to believe, but they've been living in VA for almost 5 years! That means that I too have almost been with my furrever family for 5 years! They figured I was 1 when I was adopted and I'm 5.5 now :) Wow! Seems like yesterday I came home and made myself comfortable on the couch! MOL

Seriously, when I came to my new home, the foster mom let me out of my cage and I just walked right up onto the couch and went "PLOP" :)

Happy Halloween!!

Alas, it's the end of October. It still feels weird NOT turning our clocks back the last weekend before Halloween. Mom totally forgot about the energy saving thing...

I'd like to thank Samantha for the pumpkin and Cauliflower and family for the hat!!! I hope you all have a safe Halloween!!!

And I'm glad that Calvin and RA agree that PINK can work for any holiday :)

Amazing, Pink can work for Thanksgiving too!

MOL! It worked for Halloween and mom and I just made it work for our Thanksgiving backgrounds! Mom just put all of ours up (a day early yes) as tomorrow night her and daddy are going to go see a movie! Dad wants to see "Max Payne" as he loves the game :) They'll probably see a late night movie and she didn't want to fuss with codes tomorrow late night.

Besides, I like to see a new background since we've been sportin' the Halloween ones for over a month!

My picture is back!

Gosh, it's been a few days since I looked at my catster page. But alas, my pumpkin picture is back! GOOD!

Not much news here... Mom's been busy shopping (food, stuff at Target) as we were running low on stuff when she was recovering from her surgery. If she gave dad full reign on shopping, he'd come back with candy bars, dvd's, stuff we don't need, junk food, etc., :)

He should have asked me to go shopping! Ok, time for my beauty rest...

Where'd it go?!?!

I'm using Firefox and my Halloween picture is blank?! So now I gotta use my divo bed pic... I love that bed, but I did want to sport my Halloween outfit... Weird no?

My nephew is a DDP!

YAY for *MURRAY* and my big brother (size of course) Boogie for being a DDP!

Poor Murray, he didn't like his nails getting cut. I don't blame him. I tend to run when I see my brothers getting their nails done. So when it's MY turn I gotta get picked up by dad, and then mom cuts it. I trust mom 'cause she's gentle and has never cut us doing so. But seriously, I'm a divo, and what if I chipped a nail right? SO nail clippings are a must!

Tomorrow his dad gets surgery... I know Allie will take care of him but EASY ON THE KNEADING!

Lost a pound!

Ooooooo for some reason, my profile said I was 14 pounds *looks at belly* but apparently my secretary forgot to update my weight as it said I was 16 pounds last time? Mom thought I was 14? Anymeow, I'm officially 15.63 pounds :)

Today dad brought me to the vet along with PorkChop as he kneaded to get ID chipped and the 3rd shot in the series. I had to get my 3 year rabies vaccine. It didn't hurt but I was glad to go home. I hate the carrier. Even though it's fuchsia, I hate it!

I'm back!

Oh how I missed everyone! Gimme just informed us that stitches don't hurt to be removed which is GOOD to hear! Mom was thinking that it might, but we're told just a tugging feeling.

Thanks everyone for your sweet pawmails! Mom will work on returning thanks this week.

Did I miss much? Other than seeing the new rosettes that are out, I hope we didn't miss any big honors or news. If we did, let us know!!

So like everyone in my fam mentioned, mom had 48 stitches and is doing well. She's been living off of Subway as dad doesn't cook much, and of course dad did bring her the Queensland Salad from the Outback last night as mom was SICK of Subway for 4 days in a row! MOL!!! She had a 6 inch turkey for lunch and dinner! Can we say Jared Diet? MOL!!!

Thank you again for the pawmails and to the following cats for gifties:

Munky and fam (paw), Samoa and fam (shades), Fluffy and fam (leaves), and Colleen (ghost)

My pawrents voted today!

WOOOT! That's all taken care of! My pawrents voted for Obama today and they are both glad it's done with. They were told that a LOT of people in our area have been doing the absentee ballot this year (to avoid lines and to MAKE SURE their vote counts). DANG RIGHT!

In the meantime, don't forget to vote for my family in Catster's Coolest Contest!!

Later guys!! Time to pamper mom!!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I just added a sleeper pic and Captivated cat pic for Catster's Contest, and would LOVE for you all to vote for me and my family :)

Mom is doing last minute stuff before her eye surgery this Wednesday. I told her she should stock up on Godiva and movies. Nothing's better than some R&R when you're getting beauty rest :)

Oh the furrrrminator!!!

Oh how I love this ingenious contraption! I got my weekly brushing and holy cats! Mom got off enough furr to probably make 10 mousies!! You see, we gotta get off my old coat to prepare for the winter one. I always look more fluffy in the winter as my coat gets extra thick.

Meanwhile I've been munchin' on Boogie's Turkey Temptations. He's not too happy about that, but he's been busy guarding mom like a hawk from Pansy.

Ok, time to get meowmy and daddy lovies. Dad's off work tomorrow and that means extra extra lovies!

Vote for me!

I had a fun week being a featured Cat diary! Thanks for all the kind pawmails and gifties :) I even made some new friends!

I am currently going through my pictures and would love for you all to vote for me and my family *HERE* and be sure to hit "VOTE" after awarding me a paw rating. Good luck friends and let's make this fun and fair this year :)

Mom also added a voting badge on my page too so check back later for more pictures :)

OOOOOO! SHRIMP IS BACK!

YES YES YES!!! Shrimp rosettes are back! The pink Shrimps are back!!! YES!!! OMC OMC OMC!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!!!

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery no?

Bahhhhhhhhhh! I'm a pumpkin this year... I wouldn't cooperate and put on my famous *HK OUTFIT* that I wore 2 years ago... Instead I'm wearing Boogers' costume from 2 years ago...

Me and Reebok must find fellow cats who were subjected to be a pumpkin this year MOL

Lookie Here! Da grate Pumpkin has been found!

Check out the coolest dude I know! Not only is he cool, but he's super cool as he is THE official, one and only... *DA GRATE PUMPKIN DUDE*

Who says Halloween can't incorporate Pink?!?!

Ahhh yes... I found a way to pinkafy my Catster page for Halloween! You see, we love the Peanuts, aka Snoopy cartoons :) And Sally is sportin' a pink shirt as you can see on my background! So tada! Mom made my page pink since it works with my background :)

She just finished working on all our pages and will put up our Halloween costumes later. Like Boogie and Tiskers meowed in their diary, mom is busy this week and can't go and find us new outfits and then next week is her eye surgery. I have an idea I might milk this pink thing again *wink* Ahhhhhhhh yes...

I'm famous!

Oooooooooo check me out *HERE* !!! A divo's life is never over :)

Unfortunately, Fido and Mittens have taken over MY bed! *pouts*

Oooooooooo I'm a DIVO!!!

And I have a DIVO bed to match!! OMC!! I had no idea Boogie and my pawrents ordered me a DIVO bed from *thecatintheclover*

It just arrived and I love it!!! What a way to celebrate being a featured diary! It's as if they were psychic? MOL

And I also got some PINK toys too! Oooooo

Thank you Sammie and KiKi for the paw and my new friends Freddie H. Mac (Thornclaw) and family for the paw!

Pictures later as mom teaches on Thursday :) Oooooo love this bed! Check out the link above! *CALVIN'S* mom makes pawsome beds!

HOLY CATS part DEUX!!! I'm semi famous! *EDIT*

I'm on Catsters front page!! Look in the left hand corner! OMC! I had no idea until I received a rosette from my friend *SADIE*

WOW! Good eye girl! What a sweet friend furr pawing that out to me! Even though one of our drinkwells went nutso on us, this makes up for it!

Check out the screen shot mom made *HERE*

Thank you to Sadie (pirate flag), Kashmere (baseball), Skeezix (paw), Diego (trophy), Samoa and Fam (heart), Titch (baseball), Alfie (mousie), The Family of Jadzia Dax, Tasha Yar and Saavik (party hat), Lancelot (balloons--and yes I'll sign your boogie mat MOL), Sawyer (paw), Enzo (football), Margo (heart), Pansy and Sully (rose--and no Boogie is pouting), Mercy and Oly fam (diamond), Murray dude (diamond), Rocky Ann (paw), Muppet (paw), Pawstuctaway Serengeti (collar)

Drinkwells OH NOES!!!!!!!!!

Not again! So we bought 2 platinum drinkwells in March of this year to replace our 1.5 year old one. Last month or so, 2 leaked on our floor and mom sent them back and got two replacements from Dr. Fosters... Well, the one in our spare bedroom is having issues! Just like before, the water is very high, and it'll only be a matter before it leaks all over our floor!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

So mom will get a return label and then they will credit her credit card. Dang, Drinkwells are having issues.

Same thing happened to Cocoa and Co.!!

*sniffles*

Rabies shot

Oh noes! I hate the vet!! But I gotta get my 3 year rabies shot this Saturday October 4th. We're also going to bring PorkChop with me as his poopies are a bit soft.

When we first got Mittens he had runny yuckies, but PorkChops' are just soft. If it's not better by Saturday we'll knead to bring him in to get Albon like Newman. The change in food might be upsetting him as mom hears his stomach make the upset stomach noises sometimes... We've been adding our food in with the food the breeder used (ProPlan dry and Royal Canin dry).

Poor dude does pass gas MOL

New dude has nice fur

I'm jealous the new dude has such nice fur. He must share his secret with me. I'm totally wanting this Divo bed that Calvin's mom makes. We're waiting for her to make a bigger one *Yes, I like King size beds*

The new dude is super cool, I like him. The twins and Fido knead to check in their cattitude! Geesh! Where's the love dudes?

??

Ummmmmm, there's a new dude in our family... I like him... He's cool... But he hissed at me and Boogers, yet we were the only two who liked him...

I wonder if he can be my shopping partner... Hmmm

1st Birthday and Annifurrsary!!

WOW! Today is a big day!

For starters *HARRY* turns 1 year old today! What a handsome fellow! There will be an all day party *HERE* held but unkie Hondo, *AKA ME*. The theme is Harry Potter 'cause well... He was named after THE HP!!!

Also today is *HAZEL LUCY AND BUDDIE'S* 3rd annifurrsary together! WOW!!! They were one of the first catsters to get married we're told. We wish them many more pawsome years and memories together!!!!

Group glitch!

Oh noes! I remember this happening when we adopted Mittens and Tiskers. We have a couple groups we admin, and when we adopted them, and then added them to our groups? Our family gets kicked off of being admins!

Mom was wondering for a while why she couldn't add a group event in the HP group. And then she remembered. Sure enough, our family was not an admin of the group that we started... Gahhhhhhhhh

11 paw ratings!

WOAH! I just noticed I went from 10 votes to 11 votes today!!! Thank you to whomever voted on my page. We haven't done votes in months, but we do like to do the "Gimme some paw" when we have time. We always give a cat 5 paws! I get sad when I see cute cats with an average of 3 paws :( Every cat is a 5 paw cat!

Could PorkChop be the one in my family to befriend me?

Hark! A new baby brother coming soon!!! I've always been a neutral cat when it came to who I wanted to befriend. I do cater more to Tiskers but I also like to play with Fido and Boogie! Mittens is glued at the hip with Tiskers, while Fido is a daddy's boy and Boogers a momma's boy.

But maybe while we're evening up the number in our family? Could it be that PorkChop and I will be besties? Stay tuned!

Be sure to check out his page *HERE*

Harry Potter OoTP!

Our group is now starting the 5th of 7 books in our weekly meowathon! We keep getting more and more members and even the doggies are active! Hard to believe our group of just over a year has read the first 4 books!

Book 5 paperback version, has 870 pages! YIKES! It's the largest book in the series. Since the 6th movie has been postponed until July '09, the time our group finishes reading book 6, the movie should be set to premiere!

Anyway, we must get ready for our meowathon in 30 minutes, but I'd like to give a meowout to Hazel Lucy and her meowmy*waves* as we just got done speaking with them :) What a nice family!

Also today I received a stuffed spider named Edgar from Rue Rue and family. She knows how I hate spiders but this one is harmless---as long as it doesn't eat my TIKI! Thank you Rue Rue and family for an early Halloween gift.

Argggggg *poof*

Oooops! I don't make a good Pirate... I was telling someone that I doubt my pink Pirate outfit would scare off evil Pirates... In fact, I'm sure they will see all the pink and assume they can mug me for my bling! Just try it! I will give you a big old squirt with my purrrrfume! TRY IT! Liberace is so old news!

While today me and Rue were married for one year, we are no longer a couple. She will always be my Moo Shoo and long live Sushi!

Been married with Rue Rue for a year!

Holy kittens, me and Rue have been married for a year! Bitter sweet in that her 'daddy' gave her away and conducted the ceremony. A lot can happen in a year!

Furrr starters, we had endless Sushi! But unfortunately that must have been seasonal 'cause it's no longer offered... Giving my Rue small shrimp just isn't the same.

But I know what she loves... Diamonds... And I don't blame her! Can't go wrong with bling! Now if we could only get official Pink diamonds--JLo has NOTHING on me! Bring it!

Happy Annifurrsary my Mooo Shoooooo!

Anycat know when the Febreze collars will stop? *UPDATE*

We appreciate the gifts that cats send, but we'd really like for these collars to stop. I thought they were only going to be available for a month? But we keep getting them from cats we don't know (we like making new friends but you know what I mean?).

Bring back the sushi for me and my Rue Rue! :) I'll be more than willing to pay for those!

PS Boogie started a thread PS I started a link *HERE*

I heard Rue Rue meow!

We are back on catster after we had a good week to mull things over. Thank you all who gave us sound advice and support during this difficult time. We're just taking each day, one day at a time. *hugs*

In the meantime, my beautiful wifey Rue Rue and her mom called my mom during this past week. Unfortunately at the time, mom was a crying bumbling mess so it went to voice mail. BUT Rue left a message and was meowing up a storm and then her mom said for us to call her back :) Oooooooooooo Rue's voice!! Purrrrrrrrrr

Just a note to our friends...

Something recently has come up and mom kneads to sort things out for a few days so if you don't hear from us, no knead to worry...

After tomorrow's meowathon, we will be a bit preoccupied for a while until things settle on our end and we hope they do for mom's sake... For those who know *hugs* It's not her heart (and btw? She can't WAIT for her surgery Oct 15!!!), just some unexpected, and shocking things that mom never imagined in a million years would happen...

Dang FedEx!

Where's my drinkwell! It was supposed to arrive TODAY but mom just checked the status: Delayed, delivery estimate TOMORROW :(

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tiskers keeps knocking over the big bowl mom bought while we wait for our new drinkwells... She hoped that buying a BIG dog one would prevent him from doing this... WRONG :)

Drinkwell's are coming Thursday!

Sweet, our new drinkwells are coming Thursday. Hopefully they won't leak anytime soon.

Picasso's mom had just replaced hers a month ago as their old one was leaking too. Unfortunately, the replacement leaked w/in a month so they returned it and got a new one... But even worse?! It leaked AGAIN 2 days ago!! What is wrong with the Drinkwells?! They have very nice hard wood floors (not the cheap ones) and can you imagine if their dad didn't come home when he did? There'd be water everywhere and thousands of dollars in repairs!

EVIL DRINKWELL!

PHEW! Crisis averted!

SWEET! The nice lady found our account info and is shipping on Tuesday 2 new drinkwell platinum fountains and in 10 days we'll get a return label to send back the two that just broke :)

Pawsome! Mom has had to fill up the water bowls 2x already! You don't realize how important the drinkwell is until it's dead!

Thank you niece Phoebe for the PINK drink! Man, now the carpet is a bit moist MOL

NOT MY DRINKWELL!!!!!!!!!!

OH NOS!!! Remember not too long ago we bought two platinum drinkwells from Dr. Fosters/Smith as our BIG one was leaking? Well the SAME thing is happening again to BOTH!

HELP!

So mom made sure the reservoir was full and noticed the basin was almost over flowing (water pressure set to low as always). Well she noticed this on both and thought maybe we were thirsty. So dad filled everything AGAIN before bed... They woke up=reservoir on both was EMPTY and the carpet was a bit damp.

ARGH!! Mom's chatting w/ the online rep and hopes there's a warranty... $120 wasted is a lot of tiki! MOL

Now we're drinking out of a bowl... The injustice!!

OMC! DDP!!!

So mom didn't even open her email to see that, yours truly, was a DDP! It wasn't until I forced mom off the computer that I saw my handsome face on Catster!

Then I saw I had some pawmails so I read one and stumbled upon Hazel Lucy's first and she was the one who let me know I was a DDP! Pawsome! I haven't been one since 7/19 which is a whole lot better than poor Tiskers who hasn't been picked since 2/9!

Off to check my mail!

--

Thank you for the pawmails and to the following cats for my DDP rosettes:

Theo (white rosette), Kashmere and family (baseball), Merlin and family (shrimpie), Lancy-Pants (shrimpie), Ambro and family (beach ball), The family of Pawsee (collar), Sammie and KiKi (shrimpie), Mojo (shrimpie), Samoa and family (purple drink), Sawyer dude and fam (shrimpie, aka sushi), Little bit and family (steak), Moose (purple drink), Rocky Ann (PINK drink), Isis and fam (diamond), Teebo and fam (PINK drink), Diego and fam (shrimpie), Mathis and fam (heart), Niece Phoebe and fam (gold medal), Oly and family (PINK drink), Pansy and Sully (shrimpie), Baby-G (shrimpie)

Birthday Party! WOOT WOOT!!!

Oooooooooooo can you believe it?? In less than 3 hours, our brothers:

*MITTENS*
*TISKERS*
*BISCOTTI*

will turn ONE year old!!! Big brother Snowmitts is throwing them an all day party *HERE*

The theme for Mittens and Tiskers is of course, Harry Potter! Biscotti is a huge Winnie the Pooh and friends fan! So get your party gear on!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU THREE! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

It may not be sushi...

But Chai Latte-Capone has a good point! She sent me a shrimpie the other day and said: "Well it's not Sushi but it is pink and you can eat it! " It's true, me and Rue are still sad that the Sushi gifties are long gone... But with a shrimpie, you can have none other than a California Roll!! SCORE! Chai is brilliant!

I miss my Rue but I know her family is still mourning Ash. Seriously, a very VERY gentle cat... He gave me and Rue away at our wedding almost a year ago. That means a lot to us *bonks*

Chicken Salad again!

Yup, dad said he wanted some red meat again so he's going to be picking up mom that Queensland salad at the Outback AGAIN! Not that she'll be able to taste it with a stupid cold, but she's been so lazy and hasn't cooked in days! So we'll let her have a few more days of R&R...

Not much is new here... I'm hoping to have a kick tail Halloween costume this year! Not sure what I'll be... I think last year I was HK.

The year before? I don't remember that far... See, I don't pay much attention to Halloween outfits... NOW if it was haute couture then yes, I have a great memory. I can remember who whore chewwy voutin and what day of the week it was. Yes I am a divo! It's all about detail! Time to shop online. I've been a good boy and mom said she'd shop with me online. I like to sit next to her on the computer while she surfs. I am also an enabler and often help mom do impulse shopping :)

10 paws!!!!!

OMC OMC! I am almost certain that in the past few days someone has been super nice and gave me a 5 paw rating as I now have 10 votes! I could have sworn I had 9 before, but I just saw 10!!

OMC!! YES! Thank you sweet kitty for giving me a nice rating! I wonder who saw my page in the random rate cat section? Still to this day, the only cat we've rated and actually knew was Simba's evil brother Nero! I think it was Nero...

Oooooooooooooooo this calls for a shopping spree *looks at his mom and gives her his "c'mon mom, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee" look*

Better late than never!

OOooopsie! I did it again! I am late in wishing my Rue Rueeeeeeee a happy annifurrsary! We have been married for 11 months since August 17th!! I don't feel TOO bad as Boogie even forgot to wish his wifey Eve a happy 2 month annifurrsary!!!

Sheesh! Boogie said we're both going to be in the dog house! And I don't care that much for doggies!

It's sooooooooooo hot out! 88 and HUMID! Both me and mom are sweatin'! Well I'm not but my hair is getting frizzy--I'm not kidding... My tail gets bushy!

Still mourning the dealy of HBP :(

Seriously people... As if mom's BP issue wasn't bad enough? Warner Brothers had to go and delay the release of HBP from Nov 08 to... JULY 09!!!! So mad!

I'm pawsitive mom's BP went up a few points when she heard that. I told mom she should do some retail therapy to remedy the situation, but she said, "Hondo, I have no desire to shop, so bummed". *gasp* I KNOW RIGHT?

We do however have to get out and about soon and send Biscotti's bday gift Tuesday! I can't believe Mittens, Tiskers and Biscotti will be ONE Augst 26th!

Crazyness!!

Cardiologist update--News is ok, but not great...

I'm lazy and copied Boogie's diary MOL

Ok, mom just got back from her 3.5 hour Cardiologist appointment. A lot of the long lulls were from resting and letting fluids "absorb".

Mom got poked 2x as the IV didn't take--ouch! But she didn't take her meds for 12 hours as told and was fasting. So she gets there, they take her BP. It was 170/99 (factoring in the white coat and not being on BP meds for 12+ hours). So they did a few tests including the dreaded stress test.

Now, minutes prior to the stress test, they took her BP again. 188/103 (something like that) and the Dr. was immediately concerned and gave mom 2 pills to lower it to a safe level. It didn't go down as much as she'd like but the test had to be done and they were monitoring her vitals.

So the stress test.. She said it wasn't fun! The treadmill was at a SLOW pace. Literally left foot... right foot.... left foot... But they had injected two liquids into her IV and as soon as they did? OH BOY!

The dr. even said "Do you feel warm and like you're gasping for air?" Mom said "YES". It was a shock but the doctor assured her when they stop the test, mom will be able to breath. Mom did about 5 minutes and they increased the resistance and dang, mom wasn't panting but the tight feeling in the chest was nearing to be unbearable. Seriously, mom has done the elliptical for 45 minutes and this stress test felt like (assuming) if mom did the elliptical for 5 hours!

Then they did more tests (some machine that x-rayed her for 15 minutes) and she had an ultrasound on her heart prior to these tests. Mom has to go back next Tuesday and hopefully the new meds will help. She's taking:

Caduet 10/mg/20mg and Benicar HCT 40mg/12.5mg

The bad news is that mom's bp an hour after the stress test had increased MORE. 220/112!!! :( So mom went home with a 24 hour monitoring/recording BP cuff that goes off every 30 minutes. So mom had to cancel teaching music lessons tonight... Can't let her drive w/ the cuff going off!

The dr. did say, given mom's age (30) and even if mom were to loose 15 pounds, it's definitely Genetics. Problem is, mom's adopted... So we shall see what happens. Mom isn't too happy now but she knows the Cardiologist will find out something a family doctor wouldn't be able to...

Poor HL and her Feliway...

D'oh!!! She didn't get her feliway on time... That stinks... I was telling her that it helped me over come my fear of the box after I had that scary UTI problem a while back. Mom still has to give me a treat after I use the box to help retrain me from being afraid of it--it's working and mmmmmmmm treats!

I'm loving the new gifties, but where is the SUSHI!! And like Rocky Ann said, the PINK rosettes are gone! *gasp* It's as if HQ is punishing me! I can't help it! I'm a divo!!!!

I might knead retail therapy. Mom has trained me well :)

Why we've been less active on catster...

A few of you (close friends and the HP group) are aware that we've been a bit less active for the past week. Granted, we still haven't been great with groups other than in the HP one, but we wanted to inform you all why...

It's nothing too serious as it's on it's way to being controlled, but a few of you may remember our mom saying she was getting eye surgery to fix her lashes and to prevent them from scratching her cornea.

Well she had to get medically cleared for surgery and last Wednesday she had her doctors appointment. To her horror, she found out her BP was off the charts: 220/1xx!! She currently has medicine but it's been making her tired (she has been up for about 6 hours on ave each day), dizzy, and she has had an off and on headache.

She has a follow up Wednesday. BUT she's actually seeing a cardiologist Thursday. Dad's co-worker has had high BP for years and none of the doctors could prescribe the "right" combo of medicine. Well he was rushed to the hospital while at work due to his BP and there he met w/ a cardiologist (who will work on mom!). For the first time in 5 years he got the right medicine and was diagnosed as having an enlarged heart. We hope mom is ok and we along w/ dad have been taking care of her :) But we wanted to let you know why we haven't replied to some of your pawmails.

*hugs*

:(

Please send your purrrs as we just read *ASHLEY'S* diary and he will be making his journey to the bridge tonight... We love him and are honored to have met him and that he has such a pawsome family and friends who care and love him... Goodbye is not furever dude!!!

Purrrs for my father-in-law and Fido's future FIL

Please keep the purrs going for my pawsome extended family, *ASHLEY* and family. He might be making his journey to the bridge soon and I know how much his family loves him as well as Catster. We are honored to have met him as he is truly a remarkable cat. *hugs and kisses*

Also, we're keeping my *NIECE'S HUMAN DADDY* in our purrrs to. I won't meow aloud what's going on but they could use some purrrs now....

KiKi turns 13 today!!!

Oooooooo my bunny ear twin *KIKI* is a teenager today!!! And that's not all! He also has 13 paw ratings on his page! I told him it's good karma! I think 13 will be a pawsome year for him!

Keep purrring for his brother though... I'm glad he has special food to help is poopy problems, but I feel bad that he can't eat tiki anymore :(

Purrs kneaded for a few special cats!!!!

I'm sad to hear that my bro-in-law *ASHLEY* isn't doing well and from reading his diary, he might be visiting my everyone's favorite Tuxedo Simba soon :( Please purr fur him!!

Also, while today is *SCOOTER'S BIRTHDAY* Boogers told me that after reading evil Pansy's diary that he and Nikko aren't doing well either!!

And lastly, our bestie *SAMMIE* went to the vet the other day and he's having poopie (sorry dude) problems!! I know exactly how that feels... SO NOT COOL!!!!

Please keep these amazing cats in your purrs!!! If you don't... Boogie said he will pursonally steal all of your Tiki cat food, and will sit on you. Trust me, you do NOT WANT that to happen!!!!!!

**OOPS! Mom is slow... Scooter's bday is TUESDAY**

Seriously, why not PINK!

Ok, I get it... Febeze was originally in a blue bottle, ok ok... But I know furr a fact they have new scents out and some include pink and yellow and green bottles! Man, I wish they had pink collars *wink wink*

In the mean time, thank you everyone who sent me and my family one! We're trying super hard to return one but it's hard to keep up! They keep coming! It's been fun to see everyone's colorful pages though! Thank you HQ for the free stuff!

Hello Kitty Goodness!

Oooooooooo my sister-in-law, Eve sent me and Boogie mail!! Inside was some yummy smelling tissues, and 2 packs of HK gum! OMC! The thing is, mom won't be eating it probably MOL!!! It's too "cute" to eat! I had to stop her from eating it! :) Thank you Eve!

Speaking of HK... Boogie found something for you today too while doing errands with mom and dad :)

They also went to PetSmart and stocked up on Sheba as it was .99 cents per can instead of the usual $1.19 (it's a treat I get as I'm a picky eater). Score!

We also picked up a few more gifts for our raggie brothers and Biscotti and also found something for a new cat in town *HARRY* !! Fido has had some hair that he saved for his girl, so we're going to get that out this week we hope! Make sure you befriend Harry!

I lost a pound!

Well, not quite a full pound, but I'm officially in the 14 pound range!! Wow, I'm svelte! :)

Boogie is holding at 18 which is great, Fido is still 13 pounds, Tiskers is holding strong at 12, and poor Mittens is gaining and is 17 pounds.

Sheesh! My lil' brother weighs more than me! Fido is going to be the skinniest cat in the family soon MOL!!!

Love Posh Pets!

Ooooo I just got done ordering Mittens and Tiskers something from *POSH PETS* for their first birthday :) I'm always in charge of shopping as it's what I do best! I can't believe they'll be one year old in less than a month!

Dang, Mittens weighs more than me!

Mom just got up as she had a my-grain. The weather has been so hot, that it often triggers her my-grains. She was a bit sad as NONE OF US were keeping her company in bed--a rarity! We were all chillaxin' in the computer/spare room :)

Anyway, I hope the rumors about the HP HBP OFFICIAL trailer are true as it's set for Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

Little Miss Sunshine

We just got done watching this after HP OoTP and I must say, this movie is a cute movie! I give it 5 paws up!

Dad brought it home for mom to watch as his co-worker brought it to work. It's quite good!

In the meantime, I'm anxiously awaiting for HP HBP to come out! 119 days! Oooooooooooooooooo!

Holy Pink Goodness!!!!

I'm a DDP!!! Already my page is looking extra pink! To start off my DDP day, fellow DDP, Rocky Ann, gave me a yummy, juicy, smellin' pink watermelon! Thanks cutie! It's an honor sharing the diary board with ya!

What's even pawsomer, is that Calvin is 17 years old!! Seriously, he looks no older than 5!!! I'm glad he jumped on the Litter Robot train! I'm a scardy cat when it comes to bugs and a lot of foods, but I love the Litter Robot!!

HappY Birthday Calvin and WOOHOOOO! I'm a DDP!!!

Me and my Rueeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Celebrate our 10 month annifurrsary as meowied couples :) Don't worry, I pawmissed to love her unconditionally! And that includes the fact that she likes to play with bugs. She said in her vows to purrrtect me from bugs, and I'm holding her to it!

Sheesh, I got the heeby jeebies!!

Seriously catster... Bring back the Sushi!!

Rue and Spiders...

Enough said... Just ain't right MOL

I got a blue rosette just now :) Thanks so much! Like Boogie just meowed, if we get another, we can't give anymore out. We've spent way to much on zealies the past two years and just in this game. Please give them to a cat who doesn't have many. We're good to go! Thanks :)

Blue Rosette and food!

Mmmmmmmmm this pink cake is delish! Thanks for all the pmails, rosettes and gifties to celebrate Boogers' 2nd year on catster as well as mine :)

I am so happy you all have been eating HIS cake MOL!!!

Thank you again to the annonymousie rosette giver for my blue ribbon! Off to post in the forums :) Thank you all :)

THINK PINK! THINK PINK! THINK PINK!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooooooooooooooooooo! Tomorrow me and Boogers get our 2 year Catster cake!! Fido has to wait another month as we adopted him one month from the time we first joined Catster.

The raggies won't get theirs for a while. Poor Mittens, the boy is starving MOL. Not really but he IS on a diet. Boogie and myself are loosing so that's good!

Sad when your baby brother is heavier than you MOL

PINK CAKE! PINK CAKE! ME AND BOOGERS GET PINK CAKE!!!!

These blue rosettes can get to a dudes head!

Gosh, here I thought pink was my signature color, but look what I just got! Another annonymousie blue rosette!! It's so fun to see a lot of cats sportin' the blue rosette! Thank you to the cat that sent me one :) I'm off to send one as well and then post in the forums!

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO

Last but not least...

ME! I too got a pretty blue annonymousie rosette that said:

"In my eyes you are BEST IN SHOW! Find a few kitties you think deserve this honor and forward the fun. Don't forget to post in the Plus Fun Forum!"

Everyone in our family has received one. Thank you to the cat that sent me it :) We've all sent one as instructed and tried to find a cat that didn't already have one. FUN FUN FUN!!!

YAY! She's back! Weather Liar is back!

YAY! For at least 2 weeks, our weather liar was MIA! But I just noticed she's back! She's back!!! Now we can know how hot it is (although Simba's mom said it was cold) MOL!! I suppose anything less than 115 would be cold... It's 88 here and humid as all meow!

Pawsome, she's back :) I missed her!! Almost as much as I miss my Rue Rueeeeeee!

Mom's surgery

So today mom had her consult for her entropion issue. The person who schedule's her surgery will be in next week so she'll call and make an appointment. But before she can get it done, she needs to be medically cleared from her Dr. (mom needs to find one as she doesn't go there often, so she hasn't formed a bond with a Dr. yet). She should clear (I would think!) but mom does get high BP when stressed. Every time she goes to the Dr. or ANY Dr. mom gets sorta panicky... So they always have to take her BP about 15-20 min into the initial BP test. Poor mom MOL.

Dad went with mom today and even while mom was waiting for 5 minutes, she started to sweat on her brown. She doesn't like Dr's I guess? Almost as much as I HATE going into the carrier to go to the evil V-E-T!

Hoping late August will be the surgery (out patient, hour long). YIKES! There will be some bruising and swelling they said. So it'll look like mom got beat up MOL!

3 Birthday's today!

WOW! Three of my besties (one niece) celebrate their birthday today!!!

*CHLOE* is turning 9 years young today! Oh how purrrty her coat is! Such a nice shine :)

*SIMON* celebrates his FIRST birthday!! OMC!! Happy 1st bday dude! You sure grew up fast!

Lastly, my niece *PHOEBE* turns 7 years old! Happy Birthday hon!!

Water EVERYWHERE!

I may love water (check out my motto) but I do NOT LIKE WATER to fall near me voluntarily!

We were a bit late to tonights Meowathon due to our dishwasher going nutso! It had done it's thing, mom was reading and preparing for the HP Meowathon when she heard "drip drip... drip drip"

So mom gets up and sees that the sink is FLOODED with dishwasher gunk, and there's water all over the floor and counters!

No damage to the floors as it had just started (mom heard the drip for about a minute), but mom was like "LITTER! NO MOP" So she had to gather up all our towels and soak up the water that way. We use the Swiffer mop thing so no mop MOL!

Ugh, what a mess! So mom had to hit the garbage disposal to drain the water and called Dad in a panic who called for help. They came over really quick and word is we'll get a new dishwasher Monday! YAY!

Imagine if mom wasn't home? Normally we run the thing when the humans are doing errands. But if they were gone, the people underneath them might not have been so happy MOL!

It pays to be a good cat!

Oooooooo Boogie is jealousssssss! Jealous that Pansy gave me some MILK! Why? 'Cause Boogie is a brat! Did you know that he sometimes will play rougher than I'd like while I *YES ME* graciously groom him?

And yes, I have a small meow, but so does HE! And he has the nerve to make fun of me! Meh!

Look who's laughin' now!!! *grins*

New Catster gifts!!!!!!!!!

OMC!!! Did you see the pawsome new rosettes/gifties! Love the milk one!! And the Power of the Paw is pretty dang neat! And Boogie is going nuts over the baseball!!!

OMC!!! Catster! Kudos for the cool yummies! Now bring back the Sushi too!!!!!!!!

PINK CAKE PINK CAKE!!!!!

Oooooooooooo I see that in 17 days, we'll get our 2 year Catster cake! OMC! Pink luscious cake!!! I can't wait! Mom has to somehow figure out how to check her catster account and how we had it set up for renewal. We don't remember MOL

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I can't wait for the pink cake! And two candles too!! Fido will get his second candle in August. Nice!!!

Hope all our friends have a pawsome weekend!

Weather Pixie MIA!!!

Gosh, and here I thought it was bad that I'm always MIA when company comes over!

Our weather liar has been MIA for a few days! Dang!!! Where'd she go?? Looks like it's about to storm hard soon, but I would know fur sure IF she was available! Maybe the dogs got her?

Speaking of MIA... I just told Rue that I'm still mad that the sushi gifties went bye bye! Not only were they cool, but the art on the, what looked like, CA roll, was purrrty! BRING BACK THE SUSHI!!!!

Can we say... PINK and HELLO KITTY!?!

Seriously, those are the two favorite things in my life after my Rue Rue :) I just got a surprise gifty from *CALI AND LEO* today! It is the other part of my bday gift!

Well, on one side we have a bright PINK bandanna with my name written in PRETTY PURPLE writing! And the other side (irreversible yo!!!) is a reddish print with a Western lookin' Hello Kitty theme! OMC! I've never EVER seen this print before!

OMC! Thanks so much guys! Mom will do the pics tomorrow in better light! But it fits like a glove! Thanks guys!!!

9 paws!

Oooooooooooo!!! I just noticed that I have 9 paws on my page!! I know I received my 8th paw on my bday May 25, and even last night when I was working on my diary, I still had 8 paws!

OMC! Thanks so much to the kind cat who gave me a paw rating of at least a 4-5!!! I wish I knew who these cats were as I'd give them a lil' thanks :)

I'm about done catching up on what went on at Catster last week. We've been very lazy today here, and that's not a bad thing :)

I wanted to give my purrs out to my FIL *ASHLEY* as he's having a hard time. I'm purring that he perks up as in the past. Love you dude!

We're back!

Phew, what a busy week!! Our grandpawrents left today and are now safely in MN. Nice people! They kept saying how handsome I am (duh!). But no, I had fun playing with my grandpawrents again!

While I loved seeing them, I furrr one am glad I have my house to myself again! Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I was out of my element for a few days. I was a bit stressed for a day but after that, I warmed up like I always do :)

Besides, getting extra lovies is always welcomed! I hope everyone had a great weekend! We'll be catching up with everyone this week :)

10 reasons why I love my DADDY!

I love my daddy!!! Here are the top reasons why I love my daddy!

1) When ever I want a cat treat, I walk up to the treat drawer, rub against it and dad hot foots it to the drawer and feeds me treats.

2) He always gives me a lot more treats than mom does :)

3) He knows I hate a smelly litter box, so he takes out the litter as soon as it stinks. Basically he takes it out sooner than it really needs to be as I'm spoiled.

4) When mom and dad go shopping, he's always thinking of me and what shirt might look "cute" on me :)

5) Daddy and I share the bond of the love of nice clothes.

6) When dad leaves for work, he always spends a good minute letting me rub against his watch. It's something I've always done. He'll lift his arm up, and I get on my hind legs, and hold onto his arm, and rub against the cool feel of his watch!!!

7) Both me and my daddy are good looking if I don't say so myself :)

8) Dad loves doing head butts with me. I like it rough and he doesn't hold back and bonking me :)

9) He knows how much I LOVE FRESH WATER!!!!!!!!! So sometimes for fun, he'll pour some water into our drinkwells just so I get a taste of the yummy fresh water!

10) I LOVE MY DAD because he's the kindest dude I know! Love you daddy :)

I also wanted to give a shout out to *BOB* as it's his Birthday today!!!!!!!

Gonna cry!

My brother Boogie is getting married this Saturday! I was in charge of the flowers and decorating. All I know is that I have some pink kleenix on paw, furrr, well... You know :)

I can't believe the time has come!!! Mom still has to dress the raggies as they sometimes aren't very cooperative.

This Sunday is Father's Day. Mom is thinking of buying dad a few shirts and/or a nice dinner where ever he wants (I'm guessing a Steakhouse is what we'll do!)

I met my Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well, ok.... "I" didn't, but my parents did :) This afternoon, my parents met auntie Brenda and the furry gang :) Mom said it was so nice to see my wifey along with Ashley, Bells, Gremlin, the slobber monster Angus, and the lil' kittens :)

They sat and talked for a while and then decided to get lunch at Ruby Tuesday's. Mom had this yummy chicken salad, dad had his usual chicken fingers, and Brenda had these spicy shrimp. She was nice and treated our pawrents to lunch.

Then they went to Petco where they picked up some food, toys, etc., It was soooooooooooooooooo hot out that they didn't get to go to Harpers Fairy, but that's ok. They later returned back home, and played with the furry peeps some more :)

When mom left, Brenda was so nice and surprised mom with two gift baggies! Inside were two yummy chocolate covered twinkies, strawberry laces, a huge sucker, and a package of chocolate covered molasses. The candy was very yummy and was from a store in WV called "DeFluri's Fine Chocolates". Mom also received a beautiful pair of silver earrings (A circle with a silver feather inside), a cute card signed by Rue, and a gray octopus Meow Mix toy! OMC! And we all know Brenda has a HUGE catnip garden, so she gathered up a bunch of that for us!

We had so much fun!! Since mom only got 3 hours of sleep last night since dad was snoring, mom crashed for about 4 hours on the sofa MOL. Thank you so much Brenda and family! We had a lot of fun even though mom was exhausted! *glares at dad*

I got to meet my Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dancing Cheetahs!

Ooooooo one of Boogie's bestie and best groomsman is throwing him an all day Catchelor party Sunday, June 8 *HERE* !!! Naturally there'll be a ton of food for everyone!!! But I heard something about some wild Cheetahs?? MROWWwwwwwwwww

PARTY ON!!

Hmmmm

The Weather Liar in our pages is sportin' a tiny weeny black *BIKINI* !! Ok, for once she's not lying! It's HOT!!! 90's in June, meh!

PS, it's so hot that I lost a pound :) Woohoooo 15 pounds!

It's sooooooooooo hot!

And no, I'm not meowing about me :) It's hot as all meow!!! Monday, when my parents meet Rue, it's supposed to be like 98!!!!!!!! OMC!! So much furr Harper's Fairy!! Mom melts and said that is too hot!

I'm soaking up all the luscious water. Mom is going to put some ice cubs in it for me as I'm spoiled :)

Not much is new here other than Sawyer is throwing my brother Boogie a Bachelor party tomorrow ALL DAY in the Virtual Playdate area :) Details to come when we hear of them.

You see, Sawyer, Snowmitts are like Boogie. They eat all dang day! So you know the party will have tons of food. I believe my duty is to be in charge of decorations and the flowers for his wedding :) hehe

We're ok!!!

Thanks to those who have pawmailed us asking if we were ok!!! There were some BAD storms in WV, MD, VA!!!! The first one happened around lunch time (I know this as Boogie was "hungry"), and then another at dinner time.

Storms in VA go by fast, so it was just gusty wind (40-60 mph they say), and heavy rain.

Rain=FRIZZ! So I hid behind the couch, while the rest of the gang looked outside. The raggies were really loving the rain storm :)

I got tagged by PeekABoo as did Boogie, but we're going to have to pass... Mom is frantically working on Boogs' wedding and Simba's group :)

OH NO!!! NO MORE SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! The sushi gifties are GONE!!! They're not making Sushi anymore?!? OH NO! What's a divo to do!! Awwww man! I bet Rue Rue will be just as upset as me! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Good thing I had some of mom's sushi just now. Yup, mom made some tuna salad sushi MOL (she won't do the raw thing).

I am SO BUMMED!!!

Seeing Rue Rue soon!

Well mom had to reschedule her visit as they didn't realize the day was Memorial Day, aka bad traffic. Now, had mom looked at a normal calender, she might have noticed it. But you see, she was looking at her Catster calender.

Catster had this sweet deal with Shutterfly a while back and you could get a free calender and personalize it :) So mom put personal important dates and unchecked holidays like "Full Moon" or the like. So Memorial Day for what ever reason wasn't on the calender!

Ugh.

Anymeow, I get to see Rue in 8 days, not that I'm counting. But I have to be realistic... My pawrents are going not me... I don't do cars... I do hummers as I'm a divo. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

NOT A BATH!!!! Ugh, I just got done getting bathed. Of all of us cats, I'm the only one who gets a lot of dandruff near my bum. So the last time I had a bath was almost a year and a half ago. But it "had to be done". I have special shampoo from the vet and in my dry food, I get vitamin E tablets/fish oil supplements, and in my dry food I get a powdered substance sprinkled on my food--what the Raggies get too.

Ugh, the bath was torture. It only lasted a few minutes but I was screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeming. How dare daddy hold me while mom lathered up my fur.

Ok, I gotta get dry but I'm sooooooooooo not going to talk to my mom and dad *until I get pounce treats which I'm looking forward to*

I envy you cats who don't have a chronic skin issue. Why can't I be like Boogers who loves baths? He did, by the way, get his bum cleaned and nope, not a word outta his mouth. He quite enjoyed it... Nutter...

Pawsome 5th Birthday Party!

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for making my 5th Birthday so special! I received tons of treats, emails, rosettes, stars, gifties, made new friends, read group messages, and most importantly, shared this with all of you!

Mom said that since she's waiting for dad to get home from work, she'll stay up and then I can open my giftie from my pawrents! I hope it's something PINK!

Thank you so much everyone for the pawsome emails, rosettes, stars, group messages, gifties, round trip for me and Rue from Chai and family *hehe*, and friendship!!! Also, HOW COOL is it that some of my friends dressed up in their party hats (Hello Kitty as well!!) I wanted to also thank:

*ALFIE from the UK* wrote me this song:

Lots of Love & purrs ALFIE & family

My pawrents ordered me a blanket from *POSH PETS* and they had my name embroardered in PINK and Cali and Leo's mom added a pink heart for me :) Awwwwwwwww I LOVE IT!

Dang allergies!

Ugh! I keep sneezing but it's my allergies... Ugh, what's a divo to do. Messin' up my furrr! Before I know it, my nick name will be Boogers too! *sigh*

Tomorrow I turn 5 years old! WOOHOOOOO I'm getting up to geezer status! They say a man becomes more handsome as they age.... True dat, I mean... Look at me :)

I think pink is the ticket to a healthy glow! Be sure to check my page tomorrow for directions to my party that my wifey Rue Rueeeeeeeee is throwing me!

Simba will be missed...

First off, I wanted to say again, how much our family will miss Simba. She made her journey to the rainbow bridge today, and the sky will shine much brighter. Simba's friend Ming Ming mentioned that if there's a shooting star, it'll be Simba letting her mom know she's ok. So true...

Thank you DDP lady for picking me today. It actually helped let a few more cats know how wonderful Simba is.

On a brighter note, I wanted to finally say Thank You to a few cats as I've received some birthday gifts. I didn't want to meow about any of them until we knew Simba was safe at the bridge...

A few days ago, *CALI AND LEO* had sent me a wonderful pink yeowww catnip cigar! Although I received two from my nephew/nieces, it's pawsome as the lil' rug rats won't share! They took mine! So mom is making sure this one is all mine, and NONE of my bros can touch :) Thanks so much!

*SAMMIE AND KIKI* sent me a package too! Inside was a pawsome pink boa jingle bell toy, some Chicken Greenies, a cuteeeeeeee card, and 4 toys, of which, 3 were PINK AND PURPLE!! OMC! It doesn't get any better than that! Thanks guys!

And finally, I received a package from *KASHMERE AND CO* . They sent me a cute blue shirt with an adorable bear on the front that I can't post pics until tomorrow (A divo NEVER lets ONE person dress him, it should be TWO), a pretty pink card with hearts, a trashcan pineapple toy, Meow Mix treats (MINE), a cute purple mousie (Cassi picked it out), a can of Sheba tuna Fillet & Egg, and 4 handmade catnip pillows featuring pawsome pink prints, full of glitter and stuff I, Hondosan, love! Thank you so much!!!

*Pics to follow soon, but the t-shirt pic will be tomorrow*

Our bestie Simba

It is with many tears and sadness that I type this diary entry about our bestie *SIMBA* She will be leaving her family and friends tempurrarily for a new duty; angel at the bridge.

We are so sad and our hearts go out to Simba and her family. Goodbye is not furrrever.

We won't be updating our diary this week so people can read about Simba and what a wonderful friend she is.

I wanted to also add a huge concats to *ROBERT* as he's the COTW :) *hugs*

HEY HORTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, one of my favorite lil' dudes pawed out something to me... So... Horton is from Dr. Seuss... I didn't know that as mom didn't read his books... But Horton is an Elephant! I googled and found words like "pouch" which makes me think maybe this cat is from Aus? Meaning Kangaroo's? Ok, I'm off to hut as much as I can.

Seriously, we're not too good at these riddles, but we have solved ONE.... MOL!!!

Ok, HORTON! Leave me CLUES in my shoutbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 more days...

Until I turn 5 years old!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO! Like everyone else meowed, my mom put back our shoutbox since the Voki is el broke-o!! I miss the Voki's as it was so fun to 'hear' everyone's voice. Especially Calvin, as he was spazzin' about Tiki quite a bit... But I don't blame him for that!!

Boogie keeps stealin' the pink yeowww cigars my niece/nephews gave me. You don't see me being a big old baby! Now if I took his Tiki, he gets all mad! Seriously, how is THAT fair?

Thanks annonymousie rosette giver!

Oooooooooo I just got a new clue!


“Hello there Hondo, how do you do? Here is a question from Thing 1 and Thing 2. If you can answer, we'll give you a clue! Horton hears a who, where does that who live? If you tell the answer, a clue we will give! -Thing 1 and Thing 2"

You're in luck as mom just got online! I'm off to do detective work!!!

UPDATE: The only thing I could find about Horton is *THIS CAT* however, there's only one cat... And from the clue, I gather there are two! MOL!!! I'm a poet and didn't know it!

PINK PINK! PINK CIGARS!!!!

So my mom was doing errands all day, taught at her student's homes, listened to them improve on their piece, etc. She's been home for a couple hours now to be honest.

So Dad calls... "Sam, did you see Hondo's bday gifts?"

She goes, "Ummmmmmm no? Where are they? I didn't see anything when I got home"

Meanwhile I'm like, "MOM MOM! Yo!! It's in your closet on the top shelf! Dangit mom! C'mon! LOOK"

And sure enough... There it was!!

Oooo.........Mmmmmmmmmm.......CODdddddddddddd

THANK YOU Phoebe, Allie, Miles, and Murray!! OMC! I got 2 pink cigars (both for me, NONE FOR MY SIBS), a pawsome DVD that, had dad TOLD her the box was in her closet, I could have watched while she taught lessons! You see it's a Cat Sitter DVD for Cats! PAWSOME!!

I also received a HUGE can of kitty kaviar 1oz!!!

HOLY CATS! THANK YOU so much! I'll post pics in a few. I gotta get Boogie to stop sniffin' my pink cigars! THE NERVE!

Birthday's...

Yup! My birthday is coming soon! A few have asked what I'm doing. Well I plan to have a party and that's about it. I'm just freakin' that in 2 years I'll be an official old furt, senior! Oh the shame!!!

Speaking of birthdays... Auntie Barb turns another year older tomorrow! Yup! She has a May birthday too! May 15 :) Happy Birthday Auntie Barb!!!

Happy Meowmy's Day!!!

I'd like to wish everyone's mom (or dad if there are no meowmy's in their life) a Happy Meowmy's Day!

I, Hondo, was a very good cat :) I made sure dad brought mom lunch in bed, and knew not to bother her or to try and steal her food *coughLIKETHEKITTENS*. It is low key today as dad works and he's on nights. But we did get mom a pawsome card, and her gift is still in limbo.

Hugs and purrrrs to everyone!!!!

So embarassed!

Not going to name the cute female cat that Boogie emailed in regards to her "situation" but I am secure in my fur... So much that I will out Boogie!

He told this cat that I too have poopie problems! THE NERVE!!! Oh how embarrassing! Yes, it's true I have Lactulose Syrup on standby should I ever... Have the urge to use it.

But to just tell others without my purrrmission? THE NERVE!!! Thank Cod I'm married already! Otherwise how else would I get a girl after Boogie tells others about my Pooo situation!!

Meowed with Rueeeeeeee!

Dang, I heard her through the phone! I could even smell her purrrty furrr... Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration but oh how I love my Rue Rueeeeeeee!

She doesn't' know I sent her a lil' some-somethin'... She is my queen. All hail Rue Rueeeee! Speaking of... Her mom has a birthday tomorrow! But I know better not to meow it aloud as the humans tend to not disclose that sensitive information :) MOL!

PINK CATNIP cigars?!?!!

OH... MY... CAT!!! I just read *ROCKY ANN'S DIARY* as she mentioned that they now sell *Yeowww PINK CIGARS* !!

OMC OMC OMC!! I realllllllly wanted my pawrents to buy a pretty pink blanket from Posh Pets, but do you think I can beg mom and dad to buy a pink cigar too? I know I'm a boy (Hey that blue one is cool too!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I want the PINK for my Bday May 25!

MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 20th Birthday to Simba!! Be sure to stop by her party *HERE* !!

Bday gifts from my Rue Rue!!!!!!!!!

OMC!! I knew I had the bestest wife! Why? Not only is *RUE RUE* the cats meow, but she has pawsome shopping skills like me!!

Where to start.. I got the most pawsomist pink corner cat condo, a pawsome funky triangle cube which I love, a package of Meow Mix (Boogers paws off), A PINK Shrimp Meow Mix catnip toy, a purple crab catnip Pursuasions toy, an orange cat food dish that says "You May Feed Me NOW!" MOL, a can of Weruva "Paw Lickin' Chicken" food, and a pawsome bday card and inside she included a lock of her fur! MROWWWWWWWWW!

Man oh man! My Rue Rue spoiled me!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH Rue Rue! I love you so much!!! And guess what folks? I get to meet my Rue Rue May 26 which is the day after my 5th birthday!! I'm so excited! I can't wait! I mean I will kiss her and...

*5 minutes elapse*

WHAT?! I CAN NOT COME?! Only my pawrents are going to meet Rue Rue and I, Hondo, am NOT?! I'm going to pout now... *HMPH*

Pictures to come later, when I furgive my pawrents for not taking me!

Happy 7th Birthday Kashmere!

I'd like to invite everyone to attend my bestie *KASHMERE'S* 7th Birthday!! It's located *HERE* !!

All day event and the theme is pink and HK! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! It's also Sofie and Hazel Lucy's Birthday today too! WOW! A lot of birthdays today!!

Stinky Bum...

Well, mom was thrilled to see an email from the makers of the Litter Robot today!! They now have filters to help neutralize the odor! You see, mom lives with 6 males if you include dad... She says while our home doesn't smell of cats, when we do our "thing" boy oh BOY does it smell!

So mom said "ENOUGH of the stinky bums!!" so she just ordered 4 packs of the filters and the new strips they have too. To be honest, we do smell... All of us... And you know it's bad when your mom knows who "done it" MOL

I know Reebok's family will be buying some too! Pawsome!!

Mother's Day

Man, that came up fast! I wonder what we'll do for Mother's Day... I have an idea or two. I might use that stimulus check of ours on mom. I heard dad meowing about that earlier to Boogie. You see, Boogers was hoping dad would stock up on Tiki with that. But dad said, "Boogie, leave some Tiki for Calvin!!!"

True dat!

I can't wait to see my grandpawrents in June!!! And then in July I get to meet Simba, Glompity girl! WOAH!

I better start groomin' myself. I gotta get rid of my winter coat.

Happy 30th Bday mom!!

Oh my... Meowmy is another year older today. Sawyer's mom said 40 is the new 30, so that means my mom must be 20!! She said, her best year was 23. That's when she met dad. Awwwwwww see? She's all mushy, now you know where I got it from :)

Happy Birthday mom!! Go out and shop like a diva!!! I give you purrmission!

Mom will officially be out of her 20's soon!

Yes, it's true.... My mom is turning 30 April 24th (Thursday). I told her, "Mom, don't sweat it! Nothing a bit of retail therapy won't fix". Mom smiles and goes "Oh Hondo, you know JUST what to say".

Dang right! I'm a divo!

But no, mom won't do retail therapy, that can be dangerous... She'll go out to dinner somewhere of her choice, and maybe a movie. A while back she got a ring since gold keeps going up (The Cartier trinity ring) and recently she was bad. But I won't say what... Ok, it was something sparkly... *go mom!*

Cocoa turns 13 today!

LISTEN UP! Our bestie *COCOA* turns 13 today, Monday April 21st!! OMC!! He looks like he's no older than 3 years old!! :)

Please stop by his all day party *HERE* !!! There will be food, games, and friends throughout the day!!! Hope you have a pawsome birthday Cocoa!!!!

My beautiful Rue Rue

...and I celebrated our 7 month annifurrsary yesterday!! I have to get her giftie out as it is semi bling related :)

Our moms are planning on getting together soon. I wonder if I can come? Hmmmm I hate car rides but I might make an exception fur my Rue Rue!

Tomorrow our pawrents are going to visit Picasso's family and pick up a new tv :) Mom is excited especially since there was talk about strolling!

COUNT ME OUT for that! I hate it! TGIF friends and hope you're all doing well!

We're back!

THANK COD we're back online 110%!!! Get this... We just NOW got an email saying that our computer shipped April 14... Really? MOL 'cause it ARRIVED yesterday! We were supposed to get an email saying when it shipped, but that came after the fact. Oh well.

Mom is done loading softwear, adding pictures, adding bookmarks, fixing her address book in outlook express, etc. Took a good 4 hours but at last, it's done.

Evil computers!!! The new one is all spiffy! Anymeow, time to catch up on Catster! We missed you all!

Stupid computer!!

Ugh, this is my 2nd attempt to write my diary. Our computer is still 95% dead and we can only get online for 5-10 minute spurts until it freezes in safe mode with networking. What a pain! I feel so out of touch with things. I guess a week without catster will make me stronger.

You can imagine how sad I am that I can't do online shopping :)

Guess what! My pawrents are going to be visiting Picasso's family again! Their dad just bought a new LCD tv or something, and their other one, which is like 39 inches or something and less than a year old? Well my parents are going to buy it from them as dad wants a bigger tv. We'll have to call Direct TV and get the Hi Def option in our dish, but that'll happen after we get back, and get our computer running.

I miss you all!!!

Our grandpawrents are visiting!

Well not for a while... But since our grandpaw is turning 60 in June, mom bought them tickets to fly them down to visit :) We can't wait! They haven't met our raggie brothers! The plan is to take them to Georgetown where dad will hopefully be getting a S.W.A.T tattoo, and just to spend time with us :) Mom still refuses to fly out to MN. She says she gets bored over there MOL

I think she hates the weather to be honest. They're still a bit chilly and grandpaw said they're supposed to get snow this weekend! MOL!!!!

S.W.A.T

So if you have read my bio ever, you'll know by now that I was named after the character "Hondo" in S.W.A.T with Sam Jackson and Collin Ferrel. Well, dad gave me a hug furrr good luck today as dad went out for the first of 3 components for him to be part of the S.W.A.T team. And it worked!!! There were 15 for this week (the physical qualifications) and only 7 were left standing :) YAY DAD!!!!!!!! Next week the 2nd group goes. Dad's aural component was pushed up to the 8th of April. He'll be fine :)

And then enter the S.W.A.T school. He's hoping he gets in for obvious reasons but also if he does, mom agreed that he can get a tattoo of the S.W.A.T emblem *insert MANY eye rolls*

Mom's part cat!

Yes I think mom is part cat! While the kittens sometimes will wake mom up, she's been getting a lot of Zzzz's!

Some of it might be stress related as things were going on for a few weeks, but now that she's moving from that, the past week she has gotten over 12 hours of Zzzz's each day!!! Dad was on nights while mom went to bed around 6-7am, (not unusual) but she would always wake up by 1-3pm. The past week though she wakes up at 7pm on average!

I think my mom is turning into a cat no?

Almost April!

I'm loosing track of time that's for sure!! April is just around the corner and while I'm excited as that means we can open our windows soon, mom is not happy. The big 3-0 looms in April for her and she's like "Ugh".

She already got part of her bday gift from dad (Cartier trinity rolling ring) but she's trying to figure what to DO on her bday. Being our pawrents are very laid back, don't drink and are home bodies, she figures she'll just go out to eat and then catch a movie. A friend suggested comedy club but mom might pass as it's a week day and dad has to work the next night.

Hope my friends have a pawsome weekend!

A Party for Jaspurr!

Our bestie *JASPURR* is turning 4 in just a few minutes on the East Coast!!! To help celebrate the fun, there is an all day party furrr him and his friends! Everyone is invited so please stop by *HERE* to wish him the bestest 4th birthday March 27 (Thurs).

We'll be there off and on but mom does have to work just for a few hours. Hope it's a good one dude!

Hide that food from certain guests *coughBOOGIESNOWMITTS* MOL!

Sad Day

We just found out our bestie *DEXTER* has crossed the bridge and is now with his sister Molly... Please stop by his page above and pay tribute to a wonderful friend and family. The only thing that puts a smile on our face at this time is that Dexter is united with his sister Molly.

We know they are both looking down on the meowmy and River... *hugs*

Other than that sad news, not much to report here. Mom is tired as all meow and it might be because she bought caffine free pop! MOL! We also did get part of our Mr. Coffee tea maker today (the actual tea maker comes tomorrow) so that's cool. My beautiful wife Rue Rue sent me an Easter Card and it was all BLING BLING with glitter and of course, Tinker Bell on the front :) hehe Thanks sweetie!

D'oh

I missed ringing my 2000th friend! Gah! Mom is loosing track of time. Having Easter so soon after St. Patty's Day is throwing us for a loop.

In the meantime we're pretty sure our grandpawrents will be coming down in June! Mom is going to buy them plane tickets to visit us as a birthday gift to her dad as he turns 60 years old in June. Holy Cats! That's old :) MOL

Mom is seriously not looking forward to turning 30 next month. She said she'll need my help as she's going to do some retail therapy :)

Hope all my friends have a Hoppy Easter!

My turn at the computer FINALLY!

Like Boogie said, we didn't get much computer time at all yesterday. We're lucky we got as much time as we did with Snowmitt's party!!!

In addition to missing the St. Patty's festivities, we didn't get to give voki shoutouts but just a few to be exact.

AND on top of it? Me and Rue yesterday celebrated our 6 month annifurrsary as a married couple! I'm so lucky to have my Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeee, but HISSSSSSSSSSSS on how it was so not cool that of all days mom had to deal with something personal and then have her friend be here when mom was frazzled! Her friend helped give her advice. But I was like "MOMmmmmmmmmm I need to wish Rue a Happy Annifurrsary!!!!!!!!!" I was FULL ON DIVO FYI!!!!

And now it's like almost 6am. How is a divo to get sleep when he is frazzled?

Singing to another song

There's a song on the radio called "Sweetest Girl - dollar bill" by Wyclef Jean. Like the Avril Lavigne song, dad decided to do his rendition.... "Where my Rue at?" MOL Again, you had to be there.

Mom hates the radio and often doesn't listen to it. She says the music is terrible these days. Yup, she's officially becoming old MOL.

One of our filters had to be turned "down" as it was getting the carpet a bit moist. Weird no? It just seems to splash more. But I tell you what, I've drank even MORE water from this filter :) Oooooooo water!

Have a great weekend friends!

Drinkwell goodness!

Ooooooooooo Mmmmmmmmmmmm Ahhhhhhhhhhh the drinkwell platinum is pawsome! Oooooooooooo! I missed my Big Dog Drinkwell!!! Although the platinum holds half as much as the one we had, doesn't matter! Mom is happier that it's easier to clean :) I like how the dish isn't as deep so now, with luck, I might not get my head as wet as before :)

Ok, back to more num num water goodness! Fresh water! Oooooooo I knead fresh water!!!

Drinkwell will be here tomorrow!

Ooooooo so Wednesday March 12, my two drinkwells will be here! THANK COD!!! I miss that luscious flow of yummy fresh clean water! I wonder how many years each drinkwell has? Our last one was about 1.5 years. I think this one will be easier to get too as well as it's not so deep like the Dog one. I remember when Mittens and Tiskers came home, it was a bit of a challenge for them to get water :)

Mom has been up for about 5 hours. She got up at 10pm EST as she had a terrible My-grain. She hasn't had one THIS bad in YEARS! She's all good to go now. She was touched how we all slept with her while she rested. Boogie and Tiskers, as usual, were near her head, and me, Fido, and Mittens were at her feet.

Waiting for my drinkwell!!!

HISSSSSSSSSS as Fido meowed, the drinkwell had to be ordered from Dr. Foster/Smith as they were on backorder online at PetSmart and all gone at the two PetSmart's near us. There are about 3 others close to us, but mom didn't want to spend all day driving.

Meanwhile I'm drinking from the PetMate and it's NOT THE SAME! The flowage doesn't compare. *sigh* What's a divo to do!

We were going to get another BigDog one as it's cheaper and holds a LOT more, but it's a pain to clean mom said. We were reading some reviews online about cleaning and one review said *gasp*

"The drinkwell is great! We don't have to give the cat fresh water as often. And even better that we only have to clean it every other month or so"

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh every OTHER month? EWwwwwwwwwww poor cat!

Ack! My drinkwell is broken!

So mom came in here to do emails before reading her book when she noticed the drinkwell was VERY low. Now granted, it needed to be filled and cleaned but mom was going to wait until the morning. So she filled it up all the way. She then proceeded with our emails and then 30 minutes elapsed and then she saw it was empty again!

She googled and found that the seal can give out... HISSSSSSSSSSS Ok, so we've had it for 1.5 years. So now we knead a new one as I'm not going to drink out of a bowl! I am thinking the Drinkwell Platinum. I might ask mom to buy two as the PetMate we have in my pawrents room? It just doesn't have the pawsome flow like a drinkwell. Oooooooooo two new drinkwells!! Sweet!

7 Paws?!?! This calls for a celebration!

No really! This does call for a celebration as my father in law Ashley has a Birthday party located *HERE* which is being held at 3pm Catster, 6pm EST!!! His fiancee Baby G is hosting it! PAWSOME!

I just noticed I went from 6 to 7 paws! OMC! Thank you to the cat who gave me paw ratings!!! I wish I knew who you were!!!

Sushi for me with chop sticks!

HARK!! I got a lil' some somein' from my wifey Rue Rueeeeeee! Inside was a pretty Thank you card and a bunch of red confetti's came out! MOL sould have known Rue would do that again as it's her trade mark! MOL

Both our mom's enjoy playing musical instruments and I have a great voice as demonstrated in my Voki :) Well she sent me a very pretty black collar with white cleffs/music notes and instruments!! It was also placed in a nice lil' mesh bag :) Next I got a Meezer toy to remind me of my favorite Meezer!!! It has big blue eyes like my Rue! The creme de la creme was this Barracuda catnip filled toy that also has a "light fish aroma cats love". Dang right as I was all over that! And to eat this Barracuda, she sent me more chop sticks! MOL I love chewing and playing with those!

OMC! Thank you so much Rueeeeeeeeee! Pictures to be posted soon!!!

Ugh, I'm a bit SLOW today

The party for Ashley is FRIDAY not today... MOL!! I'll be sure to remind friends about that.. Ugh, mom is a bit slow today. She has to work for 30 minutes on Friday from 6-6:30 but we'll still be there Ash!!

*turning crimson and extra stooooooooopid now*

Getting my party on!

So your purrresence is kneaded at my wife's dad's bday party! He is 17! I'm guessing Baby-G and Ash couldn't coordinate a time to celebrate on his bday, thus why it's today. So be sure to come tonight! 6pm EST/3pm Catster *HERE* !

I must get going and get ready. I hope the spa can get me in on such short notice, my nails are a mess...

*RESULTS ARE IN* Power of purrr does work!

So good news!!!!!!! Again, mom is tired and didn't get much sleep (Dad was snoring!) but she had to report before her and I take a nap.

I'm all clear of: diabetes (phew), liver, kidney and all that gets tested with blood panels. The only concern is that my thigh-roid is in the gray area. Dr. Colvin said unless my parents continue to see an increase in my drinking and I think dad said a lack of appetite, then there's no reason for concern.

There's no need for any advanced blood tests (phew).

Power of pur does work! Still not sure why I peed outside the box. But hopefully this feliway works as a bunch of cats said it helped when they did that! We however, are going to next month bring Boogers to the vet (he doesn't know this so mum's the word!) as after reading and learning that large pees can indicate the big "D", he will also get the same blood tests done.

I'm fine with peeing big as it's better than poopin' in PINK like Bellsnickles and having it publically displayed on Catster! MOL!

Thank you again for all the purs and helpful information! *bonks and hugs*

Me? A DDP? Leave it to my secretary to embarrass me!!!!!

*blushes, kicks litter in embarrassment* So it's been 6 months since I was last a DDP!!! And oh how excited I was to wake up to tons of messages, group mail, rosettes and gifties.

And then reality set in... I thought, "NOoooooo, I hope the diary that was picked wasn't about my poopies!!!!!" Low and behold... It was... DOM DOM DOMMMMMMMM!!!

As for my situation, mom is assuming I have left a #1 in the boxes. It's hard to do your buisness when your mom is watching you non stop! But she has taken her UV light checking for your-in stains... I am not lethargic, been drinking and eating, and a bit playful. We're hoping it was just a lack in judgment when I ruined a cat bed. I should know about the results tomorrow or Tuesday. Dr. Colvin was amazing. Also our regular vet emailed us and said he'd be in M, W, and Friday even though he's not scheduled as he has some meetings. He said he'd see me if knead be :) Also he thinks I should have another urinalysis and culture (sterile) in case, and also a month from now. Mom definately agrees on the month from now, but will wait to hear the blood results.

Perhaps I have diabetes... Mom read that if the cat urine clumps are HUGE that could be a sign. Me and Boogie are the main ones who have huge clumps and low and behold we're the biggest dudes. But we're working on the weight thing with Evo (lots of protein, fills us up and we're eating LESS).

Ok, time to restore my face on catster *thinks to himself.... of all things... Poopies*

Went #2 in the new litter!

Ok, so that might be TMI, but mom had yet to officially witness ME using the new litter. So far she's seen the 2 kittens, and I use the new box. Although she wished she saw me do #1. But hey, at least I went into the box with the new litter!!

Mom noticed the litter robot in the bedroom had NO #1 or #2's today... BUT the one in the spare bedroom was full. In the past (2 months) we've all been in their bedroom with food, water, litterbox with the door shut so the kittens would cause a muck. Fido hates being left out alone and that's why we did this. We have an air refuser near the box, so no stinky.

She's wondering if we're all afraid to use the box in the bedroom, or rather, maybe I am afraid?? I did my pee on the heated bed yesterday which is near the box in the bedroom. It wasn't a matter of me not making it... The box had cycled, I did do my "thing" and the bed was 2 feet away.

The thing is, after I got drugs last time, I used the box in the bedroom.... Hmmmmm

She wants to make sure Fido and Boogie are using the new litter... ONE OF US 3 big dudes did as like I said before, there was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE urine clump and that's usually one of us 3 dudes not the kittens.

Feliway is the cat's meow!!! *chillin'*

So, mom just woke up an hour ago. She had to catch up on sleep from yesterday. Apparently 3 hours isn't enough....

Well, when dad got home, they went to PetSmart and bought 3 of the Feliway plugin things, 2 20 pound bags of the Cat Attract litter (red bag), and a bottle of Natures Remedy (white bottle, red lettering) in case there are any more pee spots. I think that's what it's called.

Then they left us to get groceries, got food on the way home. Around 10pm, they unpacked things and noticed I was still drinking a lot of water.

Anyway, dad emptied the 2 litter robots, and filled them with the new litter. It smells similar to Fresh Step, and also clumps. Mom just now saw both kittens use it, and noticed there are some rather LARGE urine clumps (could be me or Boogie).

As for the Feliway? HOLY CATS! That made the entire family chill. You'd swear it was Prozac or something!! Tiskers and Boogers around 1am were KNOCKED OUT!! Fido was calmer, and I came out from hiding. It said that it's supposed to help reduce urinating and marking up to like 95% or something. Mom also sprayed the spray around a few areas that I like to hide to calm me down.

This morning mom noticed all 5 of us were Chillin'! Mom got some rest and so far, hasn't seen any pee spots. But she did put away 90% of our beds. She woke up to 5 cats on the bed with her :)

Thank you again for your purs. Seems like an occasional marking from us dudes is common! I won't name any of my friends but 8 have come forward and that brought us some relief :) I'm hoping the blood results bring us a piece of mind. It seems from what I"m told that if the urine doesn't come up with icky stuff, the blood will often show hidden things if there are any...

Oh No... Going to the VET now! **UPDATED**

At 4:40 pm (a few minutes) I'm going to the vet. Rue's mom suggested because I'm drinking more than normal to get blood work done for diabetes. Mom noticed I'm drinking a TON but not using the box. Oh no... Be back soon!

--
UPDATE: *pant pant pant* that's what mom's doing now! She has a hard time lifting up a 15 pound cat up 3 flights of stairs and she said if she was taller than 5'3" it would be easier! MOL

So I'll know my results by Monday Dr. Covlin said. Mom wanted to meet him as she was impressed meowing with him on the phone. I was also due for an annual exam in May but they changed it to today on my records. I still need the Rabie shot in July though HISSSSSSSS. I gave mom a FIT going into the cage. I definately was traumatized from last time as I NEVER have problems getting into it.

They did a FULL blood poking/exam/thingie and are checking for diabetes, liver, kidney, you NAME IT! Last time we didn't get blood work done, but meowing with Simba and my Rue made mom just say "let's do it".

The vet put some fleway in my cage and ON me (using a cotton ball) and mom bought a 75ml can of spray as she hasn't seen that at our PetSmart... Tonight she's getting 3 outlet plugins there.

He said to spray this near the litter box so it's not so stressful for me. He said visually everything looks good and the fact that my urinalysis was squeaky clean. He said the blood work is a good idea anyway because IF I needed some meds, something in my blood tests would help them determine what I would need.

Mom LIKED this vet. She still doesn't care for the 3 female vets, but this guy was very thorough like Dr. Swartz, but this dude looked to be about 35 :) So that's great as we needed another vet as Dr. Swartz is closet o retiring.

Ok, I knead to pee... Been drinking a lot, you'd swear I was a water-holic! Oh and mom goes, "Hondo my bill was nice a big :) " and I said, "Just helping the economy" MOL!

Pee Rusults are in...

I'm clear and free of bacteria and infection and all that they look for in a urinalysis which is GREAT as last time, when I made that "noise" while using the box, my urine was filled with bacteria.

A male vet had left a message on our phone and is now on lunch, so mom asked that he call because she's clueless what to do next! I don't think it was spraying but again, my piddle in the cat bed (boogie is STILL mad), wasn't a puddle, but rather quarter sized drops in an 8 inch span.

I am so bummed.. Fido liked that bed too... Thank COD it wasn't the HP bed! I'm sure my entire family would have been upset! MOL!!!

PEE problems AGAIN! And a RUDE cat!

So mom didn't much sleep again. She heard me doing my thing in the litter robot, it cycled a few minutes later, and then she heard it.. "trinkle trinkle" and was like "I know he didn't just pee OUTSIDE the robot!"

Sure enough, I did... But to make matters worse, I peed in the heated bed that Boogers got from Skeezix and he was NOT happy! Mom had a urine sample cup handy, and pressed it against the wet fabric from the bed and got a good 1/3 of an inch worth.

I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS!!! I've been eating, drinking, playing like normal! I have no idea!!! I just got a culture back a week or so ago, my urinalysis last time said I had bacteria. Now I have another urinalysis test and I should have that back tomorrow.

Mom wrote our vet as he's not in until next month... AND THEN on top of it? A **RUDE** Cat (which I have contacted HQ about) said that my top video is too short to be a "top video". What, would it have been better if me and my brother kept boxing for hours and hours? Please, kids... Stay in school, learn that if you can't say anything nice, then don't.

Easter colors! YAY!

Like Boogers meowed earlier, mom changed our background to Easter since we'd only be able to sport pastels for 6 days had we waited after St. Patty's Day to change our page. Sounds good to me! Green doesn't go well with my furr... Pink and Purple do :)

Mom's loving her GIF program as we used to not be able to size animated pics for backgrounds, but now mom can go frame by frame to do so! Sweet!

TGIF (on the east coast). Also, big news! Simba Glomps girl is back! OMC!!! This calls for retail therapy!

PS it's leap year!

Diet? What?

We're all going on a diet? WHAT?! Ok, so the Evo food is helping as we fill up faster with all the protein, but what's this about how we're ALL going on a diet? Mom says she wants to be 30 and fab (what ever that means), and then there's daddy who has been working his tail off for a month now to get in even better shape than he is as he's going out furrr SWAT. That IS how I got my name after all :) You know, the movie with Collin Ferrel and Samuel Jackson :)

Hmmmmmm doesn't mom know shopping IS a form of cardio?

I'm the best behaved cat :)

Yes, it's true! I never cause trouble, nor do I wake my humans up :) Mom and I were snuggling and then I kissed her and woke her up at 4pm!! Can you believe that? She was sooooooooo tired! She caught up on the missing sleep as the kittens have been causing a muck as of late! Jumping on mom and I while we try to get our beauty sleep! *sigh* So her and I feel well rested now :)

Not much to report here... I seem to be drinking like normal and am all over my treats---something I wasn't into a few weeks back when I had bacteria! I always beg furrr treats, so I'm making up furrr lost time!

My lil' boys can't wait furr their Tio Lancelot to see his mom again soon! YAY!!!

6 paws?

Do my eyes deceive me? I think I got another paw rating? I could have sworn I had 5 but if I'm right in thinking I got another paw? THANK YOU!! I would so give you yummy treats if I knew who you were!

In the meantime, I hope all my friends have a pawsome weekend!!! I have a green boa but it's ok... Nothing special. It's not fluffy like my other one... I'm such a divo and fashion snob MOL!

Voki funnies!

MOL!! Again, we're not getting notifications when people send voki's.. Evil.. But I laughed my tail off when I saw Calvin's new one, and yes, those horses are scary! MOL and then Alex and the Hot Dog Man cracked us up!!! Nikko we so have your bday marked in mom's calender!! There's a party I hope??? Lancelot is funny and all orange.. Dang, he makes Orange look hot like Calvin... Where as I (I admitit), was a scary orange! MOL!!!

Dad is off this weekend so mom is going to have him do voices for me so I can leave an authentic one on my friend's pages :) Mom tried to get her voice to go low furrr my manly voice, but she kept laughing... Dad's voice isn't like that FYI. I think the kittens might get his real voice. Fido is too busy missing his girl to care.... Tisk...

Culture is back!!!

The culture came back today and there was nothing to be alarmed! No bad stuff! I'm supposed to just finish my icky Clavimox (a few more days) which is great! Mom is so relieved! Dad was saying last night while watching a movie that he figured something was wrong as I was even more MIA a day or two prior to my "MROWWWWWWWWWW" episode.

Thank you again everyone furr your purrs! They helped me!!!

Also, Chrissy sent me a cute Vday card that just arrived today, along with $5 for BFAS to help sponsor a cat, and a fun blue ball! THANK YOU HON!!!

Too much time on our paws yes...

So a few said my dad was silly for his voice impurrrsonation of me on my Voki... I gotta agree with you on that! MOL but you see? We have all this extra time as I'm waiting furrr my culture to grow.

Any cats know how long that takes? Mom will call Monday. In the meantime, I'm drinking a lot more which is good. Mom sorta figured something was wrong when I wasn't busy drinking ALL the water... Again, my motto is FRESH WATER! Seriously, OUTTA MY WAY when mom cleans the drinkwells or adds water just for me :)

I'll keep you posted!!!!

PS, today is my 5 month wedding annifurrsary with Rue Rue!!!

Waiting fur culture to grow still...

Still waiting furr my your-in culture to be done growing... I knew there was a reason why I liked shopping more than Science!! I'll keep you all posted. The good news is I'm drinking a LOT more. I have always done my buisness normally at night (I don't like an audience), but last night when I went #1 and #2 while everyone was sleeping (sans mom--she's a light sleeper) she listened and did NOT hear me make noises... Of course, she can't see w/o contacts in and I burry my stuff IMMEDIATELY!! But thanks again for everyone's help about food and stuff!

I'll keep you posted!!! Happy Valentine's Day too! My newphew Murry is dating Paws now, Kashmere is engaged to Bells, and Baby-G and Ashley are engaged and both the twins had a Valentine :) Awwwwwwwww

Check out my Voki!!!

MOL!! Dad helped me with my voice on my voki! When I talk in my diaries about Rue Rue by saying "Rue Rueeeeeeeeee" now you can "hear" what it sounds like :) MOL! And when we hear Avril Lavigne's "Boyfriend" song, dad always jokes in the car by going, "Hey Hey Rue Rueeeeeee" :) If you listen carefully you can hear the music at the end!

Enjoy!

I'm waiting for my culture results, so they should be in ANY day. I'm eating and drinking more, so that's good. They haven't seen me do my thing in the box yet as mom is been sleeping for hours catching up on sleep.

No Crystals! YAY! *UPDATED*

Phew, no crystals! THANK COD! Mom is waiting to hear from the vet about another medicine that Simba suggested. We're thinking that they aren't going to prescribe Baytril until they know what the culture says? So bring on the clavimox!

I have bacteria in my urine, so now we gotta wait for the culture results. Mom was surprised that I was dehydrated and kneaded fluid therapy=Sub Q < 250 ml, but hey, if it works, then yay!

Still hanging low, but after 2 days I can FINALLY play with my brothers. Being in a room by myself (aside from parents) was not so fun. But it was the only way they could make sure the urine and poo was MINE and not theres... Thank you all again for your help! Mom is clueless about these things! Always had a dog until she got married!

I hope my friend Mercy is ok too as she has the same thing as me right now.. :( We're UTI/Crystal/Urine buddies! MOL

*UPDATED* When I mean my urine was taken manually I mean the invoice says "Cystocentesis" which is through the bladder? Again, dad brought me as mom is trying to get sleep. Still waiting to hear from the vet about a culture, but seems like Clavimox can help the bacteria. We knead to find another vet furr when Dr. Swartz isn't in as mom so far is NOT impressed w/ the 3 females. There are a few other males but they too have spotty scheduling... Nothing against the females, but the three here haven't been super duper you know.

And I guess VA is on fire according to my niece Allie? "See what happens when you don't pee?" MOL!!! We're ok, but time to check the news!!!

Back from the vet again...

Mom stayed home as she is super sleep deprived. But they manually got pee from me , and we are now waiting for the in house Urinalysis results. They also gave me: Fluid Therapy=Sub Q < 250 ml . FUN FUN!

Off to the vet for fluids and to get a sample...

It's been over 24 hours again and I haven't gone in the black bead plastic litter the vet gave us. Vanessa and Toffy said the same thing when they had that litter.

This time, I haven't drank much fluids so I'm also getting re-hydrated and just fluids in addition to the vet manually taking my pee :(

Good news is... Dr. Swartz is NOT due at Clocktower until March, but is coming in for... ME!!! I'll keep you all posted.

Went poo finally and...

Ok, finally went poo... I wasn't going to do it in that small amount of black plastic like vet litter, so again, I won in the battle to use the robot! No pee since I came from the vet and my last pee about 12 hours ago...

I just found out, Ambrogino's girlfriend's sister *MERCY* is going through the same thing as me right now and meds! Purrr furr her too!!!

This Evo dry food is fantastic! I've gotten so many helpful pawmails about my situation... Gordy and Dutchess are on the same food as me now (I gotta mix mine w/ my old food though) for the same reasons!! $35 for a 15 pound bag or so is insanely priced, but if it prevents $1k bills, so be it!!!

Once I pee, mom will rest better... Again, the new litter isn't helping me want to go pee... But we want to know soon so I can get the right anti-Bee-otics you know?

I had no idea Clavimox could be used to help UTI's until it's confurrrmed. Glad Mercy's vet suggested the same. Mom just doesn't like other vets than Dr. Swartz, but of the 3 female vets at Clocktower? Dr. Penopolus (spelling) was their favorite!! I just don't want a cathader for my pee! No surrreeee!

Back from the Vet...

So my lil' pee adventure early sorta messed things up at the vet office.. My bladder was empty. Hard to tell with the First Alert UTI Detector Litter if my pee was big or small (it LOOKED small) as it's not clumpy, and the litter absorbs the pee. But here's the run down.

The vet had to try and get pee from me... MANUALLY! Boy oh BOY did I cry!! Nothing. So they gave mom some of this black looking litter that doesn't absorb or clump the litter to help give them a sample.

They don't think I have a UTI based on these facts:
1) I didn't cry today or yesterday when I went pee
2) The litter didn't change color

So we're testing for crystals peeps!! AHhhhhhhhhhh

I had my anal glands extracted which we thought only doggies did this! And that felt better! I also got a bottle Lactulose to help "loosen" things up when knead be.

I also got some clavimox which I am to start using tonight AFTER I pee. If I don't pee, then my pawrents can give it to me. It'll help my pain and stop any infection until we can test furrr Crystals.

Mom and dad also just bought some Evo dry and canned as Rue Rue's mom was reading the ingredients to us and meowed how it is good furr crystals.

We asked the vet (not our normal vet) straight up. If you had to say what caused me pain, was it maybe the poo vs. crystals? And she said she can't say for sure but that's what came to mind...

So I'll keep you posted. Mom took an hour nap before the vet and kneads to sleep as she's going on 2 days w/ minimal sleep. Thanks for your support and concern. Stinks that I'm separated from my bros at night and day until I pee, but it's a must until I get a good sample.

Just took a pee... BUT!!!!

Ok, mom and dad did the happy dance as the "First Alert UTI Detector Litter" went yellow... HOWEVER.. Even though it's 25 hours since I last used the box, for the amount of water I drank, my pee was the size of... a 50 cent piece if that big.... Not big folks.

So now mom is going to contact Rue as her bro, Bellz, poops hard like me. So maybe it's a combination of a pre-UTI and/or constipation issue that WILL be addressed!!!

Dang, good thing I'm married, my diaries of pee woe are NOT going to help get the ladies!

No box usage in almost 24 hours

Ok, now mom is worried... Past two days she has gotten 7 hours of sleep total... Vet opens at 10am and they're going to see if I can come in earlier...

No pee or poo on my end and that includes with my normal Litter Robot :( Mom was thinking since I'm not using the new litter that if I went in the regular box, she'd scoop that into the color changing litter, but I am proving to be difficult.

I'm very scared that I might have to have my pee taken out via suction or needle now... Dad thinks I'll be ok (I am sure I will be) but mom is worried and since she's overly tired, it's not helping.

My motto has always been "fresh water" and what I mean by that is, when my pawrents refresh our drinkwell with brita water, I immediately drink like a camel. She did that all last night and still I refuse to pee. I'm purring when mom pets me, eating what appears to be normal, but no pee or box usage....

**nope, can't get in earlier, and my appointment is at 12:40 pm EST. I just threw up too... **

1:03 AM, no pee yet

I last peed around, what... 10:30-11 am Saturday? It's Sunday on the east coast. I'm iscolated from my family and the kittens are not happy about this.

Mom had dad go to PetSmart on the way home to buy that color changing litter. It'll turn green/blue if I have a UTI. I have been eating and drinking normally. Problem is the litter is a new texture and I'm not liking it yet.. It's like dry ice/foam, or styrofoam if you will... So if mom has to do "litter box patrol" for 48 hours straight? So be it. She's not taking a chance.

I have not peed out the box, but am still active. Mom is hoping I was just a bit constipated... If you were to visit me, you'd never know I was here, hence my nickname MIA.

Thanks for your pawmails with suggestions! We do have dry out 24/7 and the past year we have been fed moist as a snack, but more so lately daily. Although I don't get much moist due to the kittens and Boogie pushing me aside.

I'll keep you posted. Meantime, I'm sorry that Tiskers missed his party and Boogie missed Orca's bachelor party. We NEVER miss parties and you all know that..

I'll pee eventually as when we got the litter robot, same thing happened with me.... I don't accept new things right away like Fido. Boogie is like me, always hesitant to new things.

Update on my potty

So while mom was googling and talking to the evil V-E-T employee's, mom heard me scratching at the litter box (I cover my junk right away!). SO she checked the litter out and sure enough it was my usual HUGE potty clump. I didn't make a sound while I did it...

So after talking with some catsters, mom thinks I was a bit constipated? Yes, it's true I poo hard... And sometimes grunt like a geezer when I do my thing. So mom gave me extra chicken baby food as there was this one time, she gave me too much and I was farrrrrrrrrrrrrr from being plugged up if you get my drift...

Mom is having dad get some of that color changing litter that helps detect UTI's. I'm going to be stuck in the bedroom at night with them and none of my brothers so we can make sure the junk is MINE not theirs.

But I'm eating, playing, drinking normal. Such drama no? Fitting for a divo...

You-Tea-Eye????

Huh? So mom is monitoring me as she was woken up by the kittens followed by me going "Mrowwwwwwwwww". She wasn't sure if it was poo induced or lack of pee. I have NEVER done this, so this made her think of a you-tea-eye.

I generally poo hard.... But mom said my poo looked normal size. I am eating, drinking, acting normal. Just in case, mom made an appointment furrr me tomorrow. She wants to monitor me first and is going to try and get a sample. The evil vet that we hate is on staff today but the vet tech/receptionist said that yes, monitor me since I appear to be ok else wise.

I will try and pee furrr mom. I heard that there are other ways of getting my pee.. Something involving needles or suction??

Vday!

Oooooooooo HELLO KITTY CARD! You know how I feel about her! She is 3rd to Rue Rue and my mom MOL! Rocky Ann sent us a very cute Hello Kitty Vday Card! And the writing inside the card was of course... PINK! Thank you RA! :)

We also got a surprise giftie box from Kashmere and Co! Dang girl! Spoil us much? I didn't pose with the gifts as I can be shy... But also because when I was investigating the goodies, the twins and twin tux's cats kept pushing me aside! The nerve! But thank you so much! Read boogie's diary for details as again, I'm being pushed off the computer by my brothers.... Sheesh!!

Pawrents are celebrating their 5 year annifurrsary tomorrow!

So Rue Rue and I haven't even been married furrr 6 months, let alone 5 years! That's a long time no? I hope my pawrents have a great 5 year annifurrsary! I can only hope that me and Rue Rue are as happy as they are 5 years from now.

Mom said she's excited furrr this big milestone, however, turning 30 in April is a milestone she'd like to furrrget! MOL!!!

Where does time go she meows to me... I reply "I don't know... Time flies when you are happy and in love". Awwwwwwww *cheers to that*

Love is in the air!

Ooooo My lil' Moo Shoooo *RUE RUEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee* sent me my Vday gift today! Ok, HANDS OFF guys! This hot pink purse is MINE! ALL MINE! Inside the purse are the essentials all dudes knead: Treats, toys, and sweet "xoxo" lovies from your wife! She sent me a pretty card and some chocolates furrr mom :) Oooooo she says "HANDS OFF DAN" (that's my dad). Also, she surprised me with a Harry Potter doll "Buckbeak" OMC! I don't have him if you can believe that! Attached to his neck was a heart name tag that she engraved that said, "Rue Rue Luvs Hondo" and it's ALSO pink! Dang, I'm sooooooooo blingin'!! I can't wait till she gets her gifty!

OMC! THANK YOU SO MUCH MY RUE RUEEEEEEEEEEE!

We also got Vday cards from Simba and Calvin and Co today! Thank you guys!!! *tacks them up to wall* :)

Meezer fun!

I can't wait for tomorrow to come! The Meezer group I'm in are having a party! A Mardis Gras party! Oooooooo

Of course me, Mittens and Tiskers are sportin our masks! Time to get our wild crazy on! You have no idea how wild them Meezers are!! MOL

I can't wait!!! If you're looking for a fun, VERY active group, it's the place to be!

PROOF that Pink and Orange=NOT GOOD! *UPDATED*

OMC OMC! Thank you Pansy furrr making me my picture!! Proof is in the picture cats!!! MOL!!!

OMC! I almost feel ill!!! Ok, so no offense to the cats that can sport pink (I'm all for pink as it looks VERY good on us grey tabbies) But danggggg! I don't think I would have made a good Orange cat!! I mean, look at me!! *gag*

More power to you who look good as an Orangie sportin' pink!! :)

*Update* MOL!! I got the funniest pawmail from Murray the First, that I MUST share!!!!

"You need some angelic intervention - never dye your fur orange! It's not a good look on you. *puts one wing over his eyes*"

MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Orangie movement according to Lancelot

MOL!!! I just woke up (yes, we are lazy here), and I got a meowlarious pawmail from my bestie *LANCELOT* .

Here's what he has to say (hope he doesn't mind):

"MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really started a sensation- almost a movement!! On Brilliant Orange Cats Unite, there is a thread with a link to your original diary entry about Gingers and Pink! It is followed by orangies saying they love pink!!! One said OH SO brilliantly that they go great together otherwise why would he have a pink nose!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LOVE IT!!!!! Dang, I hadn't even thought of the nose bit! But it all makes sense! But then.. The cats who have spotted noses (have seen a few orangies with those) does that mean that THEY purrrsonally can't wear Pink???

OK OK! Pink + Orange cats = DA BOMB!!!!!

*hangs head in shame* OH BOY OH BOY! I woke up to some emails from some of my orange cat friends and HOLY CATS!!! I was proved wrong! Orange and Pink do work on them orangie cats!!!

Furrr example, *TOFFY* showed me a picture PROVING it works! WOW! He looks fantastic in pink!!

And then *LANCELOT* told me that he AND his mom sport pink with orange furrrr (hair on the mom of course! MOL). But he brought up a good point... Pink has to work for everyone as pink is the color for breast cancer! Also red is a good color too as with Woman's Heart Disease coming up, we're supposed to wear Red! OMC! I have a red boa (I'll have to borrow the twin's boa, but that's just pillow talk).

And then I just got word from Calvin that this Friday is the Heart Disease/Wear Red day! I'm there! PHOTO SHOOT TONIGHT!!!

Gordy, fellow Yankee Fan, said that "PINK DOES NOT WORK WITH ORANGE CATS!!!"

Pink Power!

I've noticed a lot of my friends are sportin' pink on their page! I think a lot of it has to due with it almost being Valentines Day. I gotta say a lot of you Toms look good in pink! HOWEVER, as a fashion rule, pink with orange cats doesn't look the best... Same goes furrr humans with red hair (ginger, orange, what ever). This is a fashion NO NO!! Don't make me shop for you!!

Hope you are all doing well :)

Do you heart Harry Potter?

Ok, we knead TWO more members in order to have 200 in our *ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER FAN CLUB* . If you heart Harry Potter, then let me or my brothers know!

I'm very excited furrr the Meezer Mardi Gras party February 5th!! I have my mask ready as do the lil' dudes. Boogie and Fido are too busy doing their thing to be involved... More like too busy eating!

I think the DDP Diary Lady hates me... Been like 4+ months since I've been picked. I might have to meow to Samoa furrr guidance..

Rue does it again!

SPOILING ME!! OH SHE DOES!!! My Rue Rueeee sent me a very sweet Annifurrsary gift today in the mail! OMC!! Inside the package I got a nice Tinkerbell Thank you card for the gifts I got her, some Crazy Spinner, a cool PINK toy that you can put on the door knob, a package of yummy Tuna Jerky Hearts, and a way cool picture frame! Some weird looking tabby on the front, but don't worry! I plan to put Rue's hot picture inside the frame! OMC! THANK YOU!!!

There is some sad news though... My favorite tabby *MOLLY* made her way over the bridge today :( She has been struggling with cancer furrr a while and will be deeply missed... She is, and will always be Molly Weasley to me....

Bring on the German mom!

Mom and I are going to learn German together! The softwear came yesterday but mom and dad didn't hear the UPS man... And the leasing office was closed :( Dang... But mom will have it in her hot hands today! Also we ordered the UK "Office" and that's set to arrive today too! Ooooooooooooo I can't wait!

Concats to Ashley, Pansy, and Biscotti for the top 5 diaries of the week :) WOOHOOOO!

Hey Rue! You are too cute!!! :)

Sprechen Sie Deutsches?

Sprechen Sie Deutsches? Wenn so, schicken Sie mir ein P.M. dann. Rue-Rue, meine Frau, begann eine deutsche Gruppe und wir würden lieben, Sie verbinden zu lassen! Wenn Sie nicht dieses lesen können, dann sollten Sie verbinden! Wenn nicht? Dann ummmmmm... Ich weiß nicht, haltbares Glück!

MOL MOL MOL!

Erlernendeutscher!

Ok Ok... So mom decided to bite the bullet... She just ordered *Rosetta Stone V3 German Level 1-2-3 Personal Edition* . Here's hoping she can do more than the alphabet, numbers and a few colors! MOL!!!!!!!!

4 months!

Me and Rue have been married furrr 4 months today! Can you believe it? Her and I are working on our German. Mom isn't too good at it, but she's trying! Her goal would be to be purrficient in another language other than English. She's trying for French or German.

She doesn't like a lot of German food though... I take after mom, we're both fussy eaters... She gets sick eating onions, I get sick eating rich foods. She's not a snacker except for salt, and I like crunchy treats which are like chips no?

Anymeow, Rue Rue? Ich liebe dich!!

Ugh, mommmmmmmmmmm c'monnnnnnnnnnnnnn

So mom just spent a good 30 minutes cutting the tails and tags off of our toys. She has been meaning to do that for a while. Me and Boogie don't chew the tails off, but Fido does on occasion, and mom doesn't want to take a chance with the lil' dudes... The lil' dudes don't seem to have noticed or mind, but seriously, they look funny now... Who has heard of a tailless mousie? Not me!!

Anymeow, I'm going to get my heart worm/flee medicine along with my brothers. Speaking of which, mom kneads to buy a whole bunch for all of us... That stuff is expensive and seriously, once a month? Ugh... I know some catsters don't use that sort of meds, but a lot of our good friends do. Our vet said half of all vets recommend it or don't. Mom doesn't want to take a chance...

I hear the sound of Abba in my head now... *wink*

Get your party shoes on!

Oooooo my pesky lil' brother, the one who always picks on me, turns 2 years old today! There's an all day party *HERE* which is being thrown by his cute girlfriend Allie :) This years theme is Garfield and mousies!

He better be extra nice to me or I'm eating ALL HIS CAKE!! :) MOL!! Happy Birthday dude!!!

The lil' dudes are getting big!

Lancelot and a few others have mentioned that the lil' dudes are getting BIG! They are!!! I swear, in a few months they'll be bigger than us! Mittens eats like Boogie, but the main difference is that Mittens is SUPPOSED to be big! MOL! Boogie says it's muscle, but um... Sureeeeeeeee and I'm Liberace!

Tiskie likes me the mostest and Mittens and Fido chill. It's fun to watch them wrestle and then to see mom watch with fear :) She's such a worry wart!

Only 1 month until Valentines Day! I expect that Rue Rue is sending her cute self to our home??? One can hope :)

Gotta maintain being Mr. Romantic

Dang, only a month and 3 days till Valentines Day! Each year, like daddy meows, it's harder to shop for my girl. See, I spoiled my Rue so much that it's hard to do better THIS year! I gave her pink/white diamonds, a bling collar, and I think I even gave her pearls! Dang! I'm outta ideas!

Fido and Boogie have theirs all done... I'm working on mine, but Rue Rue was so cleaver last year.... She had replaced the chocolate in the candy box with mousies! GENIUS!!!! I have a few things up my sleeve, but man oh man... Gotta represent the Meezer community as they all know I go big. Rue Rue brags about me :) MOL! I'm not a Meezer, but I have some Meezer friends and that's way cool!

MEEZERS RULE!

Bugs

Nuff said.... Rue knows what I'm meowing about... Not a happy Hondosan... Dad killed two from an "incident" and I have had my eyes glued on the ceiling... Dad is bad and squishes them so that they go SPLAT which leaves a mark on the ceiling... Mom is making dad touch that up with paint... She is too short (5'3") to reach that so we knead tall dad (6'2") to fix it....

See, being tall has it's advantage... Fido agrees!

Dangit! I see Skeezix has the same resolution!!! VIOLET- HELP!

GAH!!! I just read *SKEEZIX'S* blog and saw what his #1 resolution was:

"Branch owt into new kyoot klothing colors other than pink."

What's a cat to do??? I had thought of that too middle of December, but I knew if I let the cat outta the bag before January 1st, I was doomed to not fulfill this resolution!! UGH!!! Imitation is the best form of flattery but I SO DID NOT COPY!!! DANGIT!!!!!!! He posted his January 3, 2008, and I did mine well before January 1st. I hope the Meezers don't attack me now! I bet he has connections!!

Violet, you know you were my inspurrrration!!! RIGHT?!!?

I am part Meezer!

Did you know I am part Meezer? Part of it is because I'm married to Rue and she's my better half :) But no seriously?!? I'm in a few Meezer groups and I gotta say them Meezers are WILD!!! I hear all these ancient stories about crossed eyed and Meezers with kinks in their tails! It's very educational too :)

Eeeeeeeeeeee

I swear, it's RUE RUE SINGING!

A few cats have emailed me about my song... It is in fact 100% RUE RUE singing! She sent that song to me along with a few pictures as an annifurrsary gift shortly after we started dating. It's honestly her and how pawsome is that! I then figured out how to upload it to imeem.com and the rest is history. It's my favorite song. Her voice is so mesmerizing. Dang, she is so talented :) *blushes* Oh how I love my Rue Rueeeeeeeee!!!

I'm famous! NO NO!! WE are famous!

OMC OMC OMC OMC!!! I just read Rocky Ann's diary and her pawsome Hello Kitty group has this thing called "The Cathood of the Traveling Hello Kitty Head" where members send the head to each other and pose with it. It's on it's way to the UK! While I didn't share the SAME head as the group did (mom bought mine before the idea of the traveling head came about as she wanted to make a HK costume for me--yeahhhhhhhhhhhh), I'm so proud to see us featured on *HELLO KITTY HELL* ! PAWSOME WORK RA!

Yes Rue Rue, I read our friends' diary!

MOL! MOL! I got the hint!!! So Rue Rue has been wanting to go to Italy appawrently?? As I read our friend *THEO'S DIARY* and he was saying how romantic it would be furrr me and Rue to go there... So we had this vision... If it looks good, do it!

Theo was so nice to make a picture of us strollin' down the beautiful body of water... And then Lancelot meowed how it reminded him of Led Zepplin's *VIKING * song! MOL!!!! I totally see it dude!!

Also Rue has her song up on her page... She recorded that for me! I'm not kitten'!!! I uploaded it to imeem too:) Way cool Rue Rue! I'll have to put that back up too! Monkey see, Monkey Rue Rue!

Ringing in 2008!

Ooooooooo Like Samoa, I too am sportin' my boa for the New Years! Mom had dad go and pick up some food for dinner. I hope I get some of that yummy goodness!

I wanted to wish all of my Catster friends a HAPPY NEW YEAR! My resolution as stated on my scroll is to try and expand my color palate. I"ve liked Pink mainly because of Hello Kitty! But I'm going to try and add a few more colors like Violet and creme in my repurrrtoire.

I just got "furrminated" by the kick-tail brush! Oooooooooh, I'm so ready for 2008!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

LIFE IS SO NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! (at the moment)

Ok... I don't think I wrote about this? And I am too lazy to look as I had some mad brew at the Meezer party...

But I didn't write about this 3 days ago when it happened because I seriously thought I was hallucinating... No... I thought it was a cruel joke.. But it's not!!

Our HK tent is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!! Word is that mom AND dad took it down as the lil' dudes kept playing in it and making TOO much noise when mom tried to sleep! She's a light sleeper but c'mon!!

BRING BACK THE HK TENT!!! I might knead to start a pet-ition!! HISSSSSSSSS

I won't go as far as blaming the lil' dudes, but dang, me and my bros ALL liked to lounge in there... HMPH!

Them Meezers are WILD!!!

MEEZERS GONE WILD!!! That's what I say after tonight!!!! Rue Rue and I got together in one of her groups "SIAMESE KITTIES And Their Friends!" I always knew they were a cool fun crowd, but dang!! They were a hoot!!! And I'm a softie when it comes to their blue eyes :) SOoooooooo jealous!

Anymeow... We found our singer for Boogie and Eve's wedding! Tres cool!! I won't let the guest singer be revealed just yet... Mehh!!

OH DEAR! That's something them Meezers say a lot! "Meh!" OMC!!!

MOUSIES FROM SANTA PAWS!!!

Ooooooooo how I love mousies! I like putting them in the drinkwell and making mom mad as she just cleaned it! MOL But we did good this year! Rue Rue told us about the Siamese Rescue and mom saw that they sold beds! So she bought us all one (the kittens are going to share the 4th bed), 60 mousies, 5 cases of Tiki Cat, a tub of Cod/Kaviar/Shrimp/Nip! OMC! We were good!!! Thank you so much Santa Paws!

We got to open our gifts early because dad works on Catmas until 8pm... Like Boogie said, we were NOT going to wait until then!!!!

Meowy Catmas to all our friends!!!

I must go on a diet!

I feel fat! I ate too much at Boogie's 4th birthday bash!! And to make matters worse? I am gaining a few ounces due to my recent binge on kitten food. That'll pack on the fat really quick :) Good thing New Years is around the corner so I can start my diet again :) No one wants an over weight divo! MOL!

Thanks to everyone who came to Boogers' birthday! We all had a blast! Here's to many more years bro!

My brother Boogers is turning 4 Sunday December 23!!!

Oooooooooo ok cats!! I know a lot of you are going to be away furrr the holidays, but my brother Boogers is turning 4 Sunday! Now his girlfriend Eve has started an all WEEKEND party *HERE* . Boogie doesn't know yet as he's busy writing thank you cards... But PLEASE stop by early if you're gone for the weekend. Otherwise, the day of it's an all day party!!

The theme is Harry Potter of course!!!

Catmas balls are fun!

Ooooooo Fido just got his Catmas gift from his girlfriend, and my niece (adopted yo), and inside Fido's package they sent me 4 lil' poof balls to play with. How sweet of them :) Oh oh... I hear that dang camera clicking... I'm sure I'll be subjected to posing again... Can't a divo get a break from work? MOL

Happy Friday friends! Thanks HQ for the Hot Chocolate too!!! Mmmmmmmm!

I've been good!

I've been so good since the lil' dudes have come home that mom gave me an extra handful (ok, an extra few) treats today :) I'm such a good boy! She thinks I've been cleaning them as she just came home from work and they were all wet on one side! MOL yup, what can I say... I slobber :) I blame the drinkwell :) Hope my friends have a pawsome weekend and don't forget Boogie's birthday Sunday!!!

ALL DAY PARTY! Details to come later!

SCORE!

Mom is off work tomorrow! She went into work today and was mad that NO ONE told her that she didn't have to come in at 3:30 as 3 students canceled! HISSSSSSSSS So she moved 2 of the 3 from Wednesday to today. So now she has Wednesday off! HISSSSSSSSSSSSS

Anymeow, I'm glad she's home as I get all sentimental when she leaves.. I rub against her and give her my big Hondo green eyes... Boogie ALWAYS cries and Fido could care less... The kittens are usually left playing so they don't notice...

Did I get 5 paws too??

I'm too lazy to check my old diaries, but I want to say I too got a 5 paw rating just now?? I could have sworn it was 4 as I was always one rating behind Fido. But he just meowed that he had 5 and then I looked at mine, and I too have 5?!?!

If I'm not mistaken, thank you to whom ever gave me a 5 paw rating! YES!! WOOOHOOOO! I think this calls furrrr celebration and a can of pink Tiki Cat no??? I really hope Santa Paws knows how good I have been this year...

AHEM? I did NOT hiss or make one sound when the lil' dudes came and I'd like to remind him that Fido and Boogie did!!! :)

THANK YOU for the star rating!!!

Domesticated mom :)

Mom is so domesticated lately. A lot of it has to do with the fact that she's up in un catly times :) Many of you know she used to stay up till 3-4 am, get up at 1pm or so... Well, now she goes to bed by 11-midnight and gets up by 8am... She hasn't done this since High School and that was like almost 12 years ago!

Her weird schedule started during graduate school and has stuck until recently :) MOL!

I hope all my friends have a great week! Watch Harry Potter will ya? And I hope all my friends who are in the ice/snow storms are ok!

HARRY POTTER TIME!!!

OMC OMC OMC!! The movie is out today!!! Dad is getting it NOW!!! Ooooooooooooo! Mom can't wait to watch it since she's up early again :) She'll be able to watch it before evil work. Dad is home again today so we're happy that we're not left alone.

Boogie and Mittens ALWAYS meow when mom leaves... I'm the brave big bro who holds down the fort. No crying here!

Virtual Present THIEF!!!

Dear Santa,

HARK!!! My lil' brothers Tiskers and Mittens have gifts on their page... I swear I had the same ones as them, but now I have NONE!!! What gives? Santa! I have been a VERY good boy! After all, when the lil' dudes came home, I was the ONLY ONE who didn't hiss or make a fuss!!!!

Dang Santa... Please fix this problem!!!

Love Hondo =(

--

UPDATE: WOAH!! Within seconds of me writing to Santa? Problem fixed!! THANK YOU SANTA!!!

UPDATE AGAIN: DANG!!! Now they're gone AGAIN!! ACKKKKKKKKKKK

HP Meowathon part deux!

Tonight the *ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER FAN CLUB* is going to finish our meowathon for the 2nd book in the HP series: HP and the Chamber of Secrets!!! The books get bigger throughout the series, so we knead to break up the sessions! I can't wait to meet with my fellow Potter Heads and drink Pumpkin Juice!!!

Partied out!

Danggggggg, Rue Rue sure knows how to party! Her birthday party was a hit! She had a great turnout! I made some new friends along with my brothers. A few kitties stood out! Theo and Mocha Latte were a HOOT at the party!! MOL! Rue has some wildddddddd and fun friends! I'm so glad she had a pawsome birthday!

We're getting ready for Boogie's bday :) Again, like last year, he's complaining how he hates that his bday is so close to Catmas. "I hope my friends can come! It's not fair that their humans are traveling!" I agree, but I remind him "Boogs, that means you get MORE FOOD AND CAKE" and then he realizes that I'm right (duh) and then he's all happy again :)

Rue Rue's 4th Bday party!

EVERYONE! Stop what you're doing! My wife *RUE RUE* turns 4 years old Wednesday December 5, 2007!! There's an all day party *HERE*. The theme is Tinkerbell :)

This day not only celebrates her bday, but it also marks the year annifurrsary that her and I were a couple :) MEOW! The best year of my life!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUE RUE!! I love youuuuuu!

Tickled Pink!!!

OMC!!! *cries pink tears* OMC! My fantastic wifey wooo *RUE RUE* surprised me today with 2 things!! The first was a lil' gifty to celebrate our 1 year annifurrsary together! You see, last year, December 5, 2006 we became an official couple :) We met through Boogie as he had picked her family for their Secret Santa in the Super Stroller group! Interestingly enough, that was her birthday too!

Tomorrow is her 4th birthday and I'll be hosting an all day party for her (details to come soon).

Ok, so my annifurrsary gift contained: A most yummy bag of Greenies (Ocean Fish), an "Angry Bird" toy (he looks angry!) and a CUTE Tinkerbell headband that you see on her main picture on her cake!! Coooooooool!!

Dreamin' of Rue Rue

So my wife, Rue Rue turns 4 years old on December 5!! I can't wait to celebrate with her!! She's going to invite her bestest meezer friends! That outta be interesting! A room full of meezers?

I'm going to spend today with mom finishing up wrapping her Catmas gift. I got her something I know she'll like. Wanna know why? We got help from the in-laws. Us kitties have so many toys, I wanted to get her something that she kneaded.

Boogie and Fido get coal from me this year :) MOL!! Kidding!

DANG!!!

Ok, so we just bought $25 in zealies as Murry has a bday today! And low and behold, JUST NOW I get my free 25 zealies! GAHhhhhhhhhhhhh! MOL!!!

Time to spread the Catmas cheer!!!!

Impatiently waiting for my free 25 zealies...

Dang, I thought my free zealies would come today!!! My deposit is Dec 2, and they always come a day earlier than posted... I might break down and buy some if knead be... I bet the dogs designed it that way those evil doggies :)

Also, when do we get our free zealies from voting for the Catster Contest? We voted over 1000 times. Hmmmmm

So today is December 1st. We have new calenders for 2008! HP of course and we'll probably pick up the Peanuts as dad likes them! We normally have a calender in each room. This year we had: HP, Peanuts, Tuxedo cats, Bushisms and one other. MOL!!

Dang... Catster wins! I gotta give my newphew *MURRAY* a star for his bday!!

Party will be held *HERE* all day!! HAPPY 2nd Birthday Murray!

That was soooooo last season, circa 2006!!

So my new brothers are raiding my couture closet... They found my last years Catmas outfit. Yeah, that was soooooooo last season! A divo knows that you shouldn't wear last years outfits! MOL!!

I love that kitten food! Royal Canin and Pro Plan mixed? Mmmmmmm Mom said I can't eat it as it's filled with calories!!! But I wanna stay warm this winter I meow!!!

Hello Kitty Baby Shower for our brothers!!!

OMC!!! The *HELLO KITTY FAN CLUB* which is administrated by Rocky Ann, is holding an all day Kitten Shower for my two new brothers *MITTENS* and *TISKERS*!! How exciting! This will be their first official party!!! Thank you Diego, LuLu and RA for helping set up!!!

I love them dudes!! I told Miles that I'm definately a father figure, where as Boogie is the big bro! Fido is the pain in the tail! MOL!! NAHhhhhhhhhh he'll be fine within time :)

Them whipper snappers aren't bad!

Hmmmmmmm those lil' dudes aren't bad. I didn't mind them at all. Hmmmm maybe they'll be my bestest buddie as Boogie and Fido are bestest buddies. I'll be training the lil' ones at a young age to start dressing like a divo. Mom had clothes for them already (purrr my request) HEHEHE!

Thank you Grinches for the cute rosette! I think Fido is onto you guys! MOL!!!

Gobble Gobble Day!

I want to take this time to wish all my friends a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!! We're not doing much on the day as mom and dad are going to finish cleaning our home in preparation of the arrival of our brothers :)

For dinner, they're planning on ordering Outback Steak. I know Boogie will be happy :)

We'll be checking our mail tomorrow but then will be gone till late Saturday as we get to pick up our brothers soon!!!!! We are so excited :)

By the way? There's a party at our place!!! Our typy will be shut down, but little do our pawrents know, we're throwing a party here :) MUWHAHAHAHAHA, password: TIKI CAT!

Wha? Me Naughty?

Me and my brothers are laughin' our tail off! We all received an annonymousie rosette from "The Grinches". The rosette was animated and when the cat opens his gift, inside is a piece of coal addressed to the the "Naughty Kitty". Surely they aren't meowing about me? I'm a good boy! *polishes halo*

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! MOL!!!

The Furminator!!!

Ooooo! This is the bestest brush we have yet!!! Mom was told from someone that she should buy this cool brush as it gets all the yucky dead hair from the undercoat. So she ordered it and we must agree, that this is the bestest brush ever! It doesn't get much fur from Boogie and Fido, but me? HOLY CATS! The time mom got done brushing me, we had a mini Hondo laying on the floor :)

It's supposed to be extra good for med-long haired cats and they aren't kidding! I think I lost 3oz of fur! It'll come in handy for our baby bros.

Normally I play bite the brush after a few minutes as I get bored (but I'm purring, so I like to make it harder for mom), but this brush I actually wait my turn as I love it! Me and Boogie are like an assembly line waiting to get brushed!

MOL!

Just a spoon full of Rue Rue helps the medicine go down!

Awwwwwwww seeing Rue Rue's *BDAY VIDEO* made me all warm and fuzzy inside! She even opened her OWN gift up! I'm very impressed!!! I love how she meows back to her mom! Love her cattitude!! MOL

I'm soooooo glad she liked her gifties!! She even gave me the bestest shopper award!! I had so much fun getting her that Tinkerbell Thrown!! MEOW!! I wanted so badly to rub my smell on it but mom said, "NO HONDO!! You can't this time". Hmph, party pooper :)

Acheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

AAHHHHHHHCHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Oh no... I'm sneezing again, so mom got some clavimox for me again... I'm starting to think I have allergies? I'm eating, doing my bizzznessssss, drinking plenty, just achewwwwwwwww. I don't know why... Boogie still sneezes as we believe he'll have that the rest of his life due to that terrible respurrratory infection he had when we adopted him, but at least he's not wheezing... Fido never gets sick... NEVER... What gives???

Achewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeee!! *blush*

Oh she got my birthday gift today too! I can't wait to see pics and the movie she pawmissed!!!! Also my newphew Murray celebrates his bday Dec 1st, and he got his gift today but can't open it as my niece (and Fido's girlfriend) hasn't gotten her gift yet, but when she does, THEN they can open them (Miles is a tough cookie). MOL

CONCATS FRIENDS!!!

OMC!!!!!!!! I'm super excited as some of my closest friends are in the FINAL ROUND of Catster's 3rd Anual Contest!! OMC!!!!!!

I'd like to give a meow out to my closest friends who are in the finals!!! *drum roll*

*OLIVER*
*ENZO*
*MERCY*
*REEBOK*
*SKEEZIX*
*GORDY*
*DAISY*
*TINKER*

CONCATS YOU GUYS AND ALL THE OTHER CATS TOO!!!!

Mom is too dang organized...

Ok, being I'm a divo and demand order and things to go "my way", I can sympathize with mom.... You see, she's so dang organized that she has our Catmas cards ready to go out after Turkey Day!! MOL!!! We did in fact run out of cards from Shutterfly, so 25 of our friends get the Shutterfly version, and about 5 others get a special card we made with pics too... Dang, that stunk... We had to randomly pick the friends who got the special cards. Mom was so mad that she was short 5 cards... She said bad words... :) Seriously, she thought she had planned it out purrrfactly but nope!

Also, we're so organized (mom and I) that we mailed out Rue Rue's bday gift today! We just don't want to take chances... You see, last Catmas, Picasso's family sent us a gift and it took 3 weeks to get here... Mail is evil... Even though Rue's bday is Dec 5, better to be safe than sorry!

We even got Allie and Murray's gift out (My nephew and niece). The only other gifties we knead to buy are for our brother Boogers who turns 4 on Dec 23 :) Oh and dad turns 28 I think (ummmmmmmmmm) Nov 25 :)

Oh, and we're SO organized that mom has our two new brothers' background, bios, banner, and codes ready so she can just plug them in! She wants to spend time with the cats not fighting our computer :) MOL

Yup, almost 2,000 friends too!

I, like Boogers, have almost 2,000 friends! I wonder who will be my 2,000 friend! Maybe it'll be another Hello Kitty, Pink Lovin, Shopping Guru like me??

Things here are going well. We are counting down the days until our brothers come home! Mom keeps dreaming about them :)

She can sorta tell the difference more now that she studied the pics. It'll be interesting when we set up their catster pages as knowing our luck, we'll post a few Mittens pictures on Tiskers' page, and vice versa :)

Ok, well I'm going to get some nip! Have a pawsome week friends!

Gobble Gobble!

Oooooo I just got a lil' Turkey Day gifty from my wifey *RUE RUE*! I got an adorable card for Thanksgiving and she sent me two lil' Turkey toys! And Boogie had the audacity to play with them first!! EVEN before the infamous photo shoot!! HOW DARE HE!!!

I'm glad my friends' pages are back. I heard that some where MIA yesterday! I gotta say I'm LOVIN' the Sushi option as is Rue!!! Now where is the PINK HELLO KITTY?!?!

Shopping Spree!!!!

First off, I'm up way to late... Mom crashed and burned around midnight as she's getting over a cold. So of course, Boogie woke her up just now by kneading on her and purrring :) Works like a charm!

Anyway, shopping time!! *claps furry paws* Oooooooooo! Tonight after work mom and dad are going to PetSmart where they plan to do major damage. You see, in about 2 weeks we get our brothers! So we knead a few things....

The plan is to buy a few more of those nice heavy food dishes, a new crate (we have cloth ones for the vet, but in case they get the runs, we knead another hard plastic one), LITTER, tons of kitten dry (Pro Plan, and Nutro is what we'll feed those rug rats), drink well filters, and that should do it! That outta be a nice bill :)

Mom only gets litter when dad is available to LIFT it as they buy the 40 pound tub thingies... She can lift that, so stop dissin' my mom for being a wimp (hehehe), but she's sorta short, 5'3" and lifting that 40 pound tub into the cart is a pain...

FUN!

Yes! No clothes!

I like November... Wanna know why? No, it's not because I get turkey (this is an added bonus) but it's the one month that I know furr sure I can go clothes free! Ala nakedness!!! YES! NO CLOTHES!!! There aren't many months one can get away with not wearing clothes....

Also today marks 11 months being with Rue Rue!!! It's easy to remember!!! You see, she and I became official beau's Dec 5, on her birthday!!! So now it's Nov. 5, making it 11 months :) Purrrrrrrrrr!!! I'm going to be sending her Birthday gift out at the end of the month as post is evil. Trust me, me and Rue know how it is if you live in WVA or VA!!! MOL!!!

Love you Rueeeeeeee Rueeeeeeeee my Mooooooooooo Shooooooooooo Meezer Wooptie Doooooooooooooooooooooo!

Catmas is around the corner!!!!!

Hi folks! The past few weeks we have received a few invites to Group Catmas Gift Exchanges, but this year, our entire family won't be participating, including groups we Admin or participate in. We will be giving our girlfriends gifts, but that is it. However, ALL our besties will be getting a pursonal Catmas card that is in the works :)

The reason I'm posting this memo in my diary (along with groups we Admin) is because we would feel so guilty if someone bought us a gift and we didn't give one in return. Catmas of course is not about gift giving, but I would feel bad you know? YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS THE BEST GIFT!!!!

We honestly, in the past 1+ years on catster, have accumulated SO many gifts from friends from Birthdays or just because. We appreciate these and you have all made our toy chest huge! Don't get me wrong, we LOVE giving gifties for Bdays or just because!! But last year was quite costly giving to our besties and I'm thinking you all have TONS of toys... Am I right? We would rather have you use your money to help feed animals this Catmas you know?

I hope you understand our concerns and wishes. It is nothing personal, just wanted to give my friends the heads up.

Now, if you're thinking of foisting off your free Pink clothes?? NO NO!! I AM KIDDING!!! :) NO NO! DON'T! MOL!!!

Hondo

Please leave purrrrs for Milo and his family...

We are so sad to hear of the passing of our buddie *MILO* as he has gone to the bridge... It was very unexpected, and naturally his family is devastated. It's a good reminder that we are not on this earth forever. I am at a loss for words... My thoughts and purrrs go out to his family. I know he is looking down on his family and is greatly missed not only at home, but on catster... Until we meet again buddy... :(

There is a *MEMORIAL THREAD* to sign.

Not much is new with us...

Other than our brothers coming home next month? Not much is new here... The bed we ordered for them arrived and it's sooooooooooo cute!!! I want one! MOL!!

Mom spent 8 hours yesterday cleaning.. Our house isn't messy, but mom got rid of a lot of stuff and organized our file cabinets, and dad helped too! We have to clean the spare bedroom a bit (paper everywhere) and the bedroom shelves.. Other than that our home is SUPER CLEAN! We're cleaning and baby proofin' our home for when the babies come :)

Hope my friends are all doing well!!!

Mom and Dad met our brothers!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Mom and Dad got home really late and not only did they meet Picasso's mom and dad, our 2 brothers Mittens and Tiskers, and Biscotti, but they came home with a new condo! MOL!!

But back to the important stuff!!! Mom and dad had such a pawsome time meeting Auntie Barb and Unkie Rob!! They were so nice and fun to hang with. Mom loved meeting the breeder Lisa as she was also so very nice! Her husband makes condos so mom bought one :)

My pawrents couldn't believe how soft the babies were!!! Lil' fuzz balls! Our brothers stick close to one another while Biscotti (Picasso's bro) is a lil' whipper snapper! He likes to chew cords and mom and Barbi were laughing (more my mom than Barbi). MOL!!

Also while in PA, Auntie Barbi gave mom some gifts for me, Boogers, and Fido! We got:

3 cans of Fancy Feast Medley's, a crinkle ball, a fishie squeaky toy, Greenies, a catnip pillow made by Auntie, and a Trash Can Treats toy (strawberry).

The breeder Lisa gave mom and Barbi a matching cat print scarf! It's sooooo pretty!

Then Auntie also gave mom and dad: Candy Corn, and a beautiful scented sachet!!

We cannot wait to bring them home Nov 24th!!

Edited: We know who's who in person as one has a brown leg in the back, but for now, we believe the cat with a bigger head is Tiskers. He's also darker and we think for now, has more black on his nose.

PS we also received a Halloween card from Skeezix and family! We got their Yabba-Dabba-Doo Halloween Card!! Thanks!

Also we got some more food from our besties Murray, Willie and Pearl!! Dang we gotta move to their crib! MOL! Thank you!!!!!!

Yes, 2 new brothers

You heard it right... So originally we were getting one brother as the Bi Color (white stripe down the face) was going to Picasso's family. Another family was ahead of us and got the next pick of one of the mitted but they recently backed out having wanted the Bi Color... So there were two... Now, we know the two are insepurrrable as seen in the pics. So dad wanted from day one to get two (Mom found out about this Oct. 24!!) so after a long meow, mom gave in and we're getting two, so yes, the rumors are true :)

The lighter dude is Mittens and the daker dude is Tiskers. Dad had a cat named Whiskers as a kid, and they called him Tiskers...

UPDATE ON OUR TWO BROTHERS!!! Thank you everyone furrr asking about them and being excited for us!! Tomorrow (Sat October 27) Mom and Dad head off to PA to meet them and Auntie Barb!! (Picasso's mom). We are ONLY visiting them and they won't be home yet... They're coming home late Nov when we drive up there again after staying at Auntie's house in NJ

Greenies, Blanket, Food? OH MY!

Ooooo! Mom just got home from that evil place we call "work" and she came in with 3 packages!!

The first was a special order from *HAZEL LUCY* as we ordered a soft white/cream blanket and scarf furrr our future brother Mittens! At the time we didn't know we were getting both Seal Mitted Raggies... Oh well, they can share! Actually, mom didn't tell dad but she ordered a cool bed furrrr them. She got them *THIS ONE* . Thank you HL for making a pawsome blanket! It's gorgeous!

The 2nd package was from our besties *GORDY AND DUTCHESS*! We got a cute Halloween Ooooows card, and some Oven Roasted Chicken Greenies! Mmmmmmmmmmm OUTTA MY WAY!! I WANT SOME!! THANK YOU!

The last package was from our besties *MURRAY, PEARL AND WILLIE* !! We got 6 cans of of Fromm's Tuna and Chicken and Solid Gold food!! Also two things of "Eagle Pack" Holistic Select dry food! Ooooooooo! I love how they are introducing us to new foods and we're hookin' them up with new treats :) Thank you guys!!!!

Wasn't me!!

I don't know why I'm meowing about this but I might as well take advantage that our secretary is up since Boogie was snoring like no cat's buisness...

So mom came home from work late last night and what did she see ON our Litter Robot... Someone's poooooo!!! I swear it wasn't me!!! Ok, sure I am a kicker and a digger, but I'm a divo! I'm very picky about hygiene! I am always cleaning my brothers! Boogie and Fido are blaming me and mom has to agree.. Hmph... They don't show this divo respect... Don't make me break out in song....

Ooo so mom finally got home from shopping with dad and eating their Sushi CA roll. I was annoyed as I could smell meow mix treats! Yes, my nose IS that good :)

Our besties *CALI AND LEO* surprised us with a sweet Halloween Package! Inside was a bag of Meow Mix treats (Mmmm) a cute black bat that'll go to Fido and Boogie as I stole the one we had prior, and Fido is busy with the mousies as they sent us tons of balls and mousies that have wheels on the bottom! You should seem them on our floors! ZOooooooom! Thank you SO MUCH guys!! They are one of our favorite catsters :)

The annonymousie rosette giver is ONLINE!!!

"You know me I know you well, but I will run if I hear that Bell! If that is not a enough clue fur you, they made a couple of movies with my name in it too!!"

Bell? Bellsnickle? Nah.. Movies? What kind of movies? Scary? Harry Potter? Comedy? HELP!

Thank you though furr the rosette!!!! I know you well??? Oooo, I'll have to make a list!

Fluffy Kitties!

Oooooooo we got more pictures of our soon-to-be brother Mittens!! We should know what one is our bro (even though they look identical) in 3 weeks or less. Picasso's mom is visiting them October 27, and then shortly after the other family picks out their black nosed baby. We'll get what ever one they don't choose. We can hardly wait! It'll look a lot like Snowmitts!! Oooooooooooooo!

Dang, I won't be the fluffiest cat in the house anymore. I hope me and Mittens become besties as Fido and Boogers are inseparable. That's ok as I plan to teach Mittens how to be a divo and high maintenance :)

I loveeeeeeeeeee those plastic toys!!!

Meow! Boy do our friends know us well!!! We also got two packages today! One was from our bestie
*COLLEEN*! Inside was a very cute Halloween card and 3 cute catnip filed toys! Both me and Fido are sorta mad at Boogie! He took control of the toys before we even got to explore! I do believe the package was addressed to: Boogers, HONDO AND FIDO!! MOL Thanks so much! Sorry Colleen, me and Fido didn't get to pose with your gift, but Boogie did!

The second package came from our besties *SAMMIE AND KIKI* ! They spoiled us! Inside a cute Halloween package was a black pom pom with a string on it (Fido chewed the string already---evil), greenies, some plastic curly toys to play with , and 3 mousies!! OMC!! I have always been the one cat in the family who loves these lil' toys! I don't know why but they are fun to play with in the bathroom and kitchen! Thank you guys so much!!

Anyway, we might not be as active on Catster furrr a few days... We'll be in full swing again Monday though!!! Happy Weekend friends!

Rosettes!!!!

Holy cats! The new rosettes are way cute!!! And I just saw, that of the new ones I have given out, I created a pattern of: ghost, pumpkin, black cat!!! MOL! That was unintentional! These are cuteeeeeeee! But where are the gray cats and Hello Kitty cats? Ok Ok, so those two aren't very Halloweenish... But still... Give the gray cats some props!

Also, thank you to the annoymousie rosette giver who said in the black cat rosette:
"Watch out I can mess you up with my magical powers! I love to get into high techy things, even computers. Ringing Bells are your only defense." YIKES!!! If this is a threat, I'll send Fido after you! MOL!!! Hmmmmmmm I wonder who this is! I noticed a few of my friends received the same message! DOM DOM DOMMMMM!

VOTE FOR HONDO!!!

Yes, it's that time of year on Catster!!! The 3rd Annual World's Coolest Dog & Cat Show is here again!!! I would love for my friends to vote for me *HERE* . Be sure to press "vote" after you give me 1-5 paws!!!Thank you in advance!!!

3 packages?!?!

HOLY CATS!!! Ok, furrrst I'll meow about the two packages I received today from our besties *KASHMERE AND CO*. The first one had my name on it. It was a small wedding gift and inside was a bag of premium catnip and a cool lil' mousie toy on a string! I heard that Rue Rue got the pink one and I got the blue one :)

The second package from them was a Halloween gifty! We got 2 home made catnip pillows, a green glittery fluffy ball and a black mousie with orange furrr on what would be it's tail! MOL!! I was going nuts with the catnip pillow. I just got done with my photo shoot, so I'll post pics when my brothers finish their diaries. Thank you Kashmere and Co!!!!

The 3rd package was from our besties *MURRAY, PEARL and WILLIE*! They keep hooking us up with some new yummy food we've never tried! After the recalls, it's scary picking out one's food! But these are all good ones!! We got tons of Nutro Natural Choice Dry, Solid Gold Dry and Moist, and Wellness indoors! MEOW! We can't wait to try the food! Thanks so much!

Our shipment of Wild Side Salmon treats didn't come today like FedEx said they would... But when they do, we already told Pearl and family that we got them some yummy natural treats!!

What an exciting day!!!!

*gulp*

Oh noooooooooooo 27 vs 20!!! C'mon CheeseHeads!!!

Oooooooooooooo!! Ok, Rocky Ann knows how to get me on her team's side!!! She just pawed out that the Packers have PINK jersey's!!! MEOW! I'm not kittenin'!!! So Sorry Ripley! I'm standing firm on this! Pink and Green Bay Green remind me of Watermelons! And I love those! Now Pink and Black? It's nice, but what about "C" vs. "G"??? G can stand furrr Gucci!! C stands furr Chanel and I like Gucci better!

Go Packers!

Hello Kitty is pawsome

Yup that's right!! Hello Kitty is pawsome! Almost as pawsome as our friend *DIEGO!*! Today he turns 4 years young!!! I met him in the Hello Kitty group!! He's bringing sexy back!!!

There's an all day party *HERE* furr him so be sure to stop by! There are chicken wings, Hello Kitty TP to play with, cake, etc.,!

Happy Birthday Dude!!!

*POOF* Scary black cat and a spider that moves!

DANGIT! I had a diary all done, and then hit the wrong button :( UGH! See what happens when my secretary is sick!!!

Anymeow... I received two great packages today from my wife *RUE RUE* and my father-in-law *ASHLEY* today in the mail!!

Rue Rue sent me 3 mousies (orange, white, black) and the ends of the tail is in the shape of an arrow (like a devil) MOL I also got a cute black cat/snow globe with 2 pumpkins on the side! PAWSOME!! And now for the scary part.. I got a black plush "Screaming Scardy Cat"! If you squeeze it's sides it makes SCARY LOUD NOISES!! Mom was laughing at me as I went *POOF*! She tried to take a picture but it's blurry... Maybe we'll show it later... THANK YOU SO MUCH RUE RUEEEEEE!

And then the 2nd package was from Ashley, my father-in-law! He sent me a HUGE bag of Greenies (one of my favorite treats!!!) and a scary spider!!! If you pull the string from it's butt, it shakes and vibrates!! This reminds me of my recent video of me staring down the spider on the ceiling--that's still ON the ceiling as Dad hasn't gotten it off yet... hmmmmmmm

THANK YOU GUYS!!! I'm hoping our gifts go out next week!! We have to finish wrapping them. Dang thumbs, or lack of!! Our girls got their gifts already, but our besties knead a lil' Halloween fun!!!

Pictures will follow later this week when my mom isn't so sick...

Laser fun? Who knew?

HOLY CATS! Ok, ignore that it's 5:10 AM EST. That shouldn't be a surprise to those who know me :)

But Fido and Boogie were in our pawrents bedroom, and I was chillin' with mom. And she took out the laser pointer... OMC!!! Normally I stare at it like "This is boring" and watch Boogie and Fido make a fool of themselves by running up and down and around our home. But since they were not present, I got laser time to myself! This NEVER happens as Boogie and Fido ALWAYS interrupt my playing sessions!!!!!!! Which annoys me as I'm a divo, and I just stop playing and watch.

But not this time...

I was going in circles SO dang fast that mom was laughin' her tail off! My tail kept going *POOF* and all fluffy!! It was so much fun! But then Boogie and Fido came and I stopped...

Oh well, fun while it lasted! I have on occassion did a pawsome Tom Cruise impurrrsonation like he did in his skivies in that one movie.... You know, the one where he slides on his socks and in his undies? MOL!!! "Risky Buisness?" Is that it??

Raggie!

Ok, we keep looking at the pictures of our future brother and the future brother of our besties Picasso and family! We're so excited!!

So we've decided no matter if we get one of the two Mitted Raggies, or the one Seal Point BiColor, we'll name our new brother Mittens. Mom likes that name and it'll be purrrfect if we get the Mitted Raggie! Even if we get the BiColor one, we'll keep it "Mittens".

Our grandpawrents are coming up next month we think... It's still hard, but each day it's easier on our mom... That's all that matters to me :)

Flying home!

Ok, me and the Mrs. are home now from our trip to Japan. I think I gained 10 pounds from Sushi! Hehe

We had a blast and took lots of pics *wink*

In other news, I helped my mom order some jeans online :) Often when we shop at the stores for Jeans, they either have a size 2 Long, or 22 short!! Uhhhh what about the sizes in between??? Mom's short, 5'3" or 5'6" with heals :) Ok, I'm going to play dressup with my mom! MOL

Senso-Ji Temple, Tokyo

Yup, me and Rue Rue are now visiting the Senso-Ji Temple in Tokyo. Gotta say that we don't mind posing for THESE types of pictures! MOL The ones where we're in outfits are the ones that we put up a fight.

I think we're gaining weight from eating all the sushi!!!! So worth it! I have extra love handles now :)

Hope everyone has a great Friday!!

*yawn* Busy sightseeing!

MEOW!!! Me and my gorgeous blushing bride Rue Rue have been enjoying our stay in Japan!! We checked into the 4 seasons *HOTEL* and are enjoying our stay.

We even saw a live *SUMO MATCH* !!! That was wicked and crazy cool!!!

Next we're off to do some shopping.... And yes, we are getting our fair share of *SUSHI!!!*

おやすみなさい

Just married 9/17/07

So me and my new wife *RUE RUE* are on our way to our honeymoon to *JAPAN*!!!

You see.. We decided to elope... As much as Rue Rue wanted a big wedding, the one important detail she had to have was for her daddy *ASHLEY* to give her away. As many of you know he's been sick but thankfully is doing better!!

I always pawmissed my Rue Rue I'd do what ever she wanted :)

So we decided tonight to elope at La Chat. It was a nice small ceremony and *RIVER AND FAMILY* and *MILES AND FAMILY* surprised us and were able to attend for most of the ceremony!!!

So now I'm writing from our new lap top that my pawrents bought us as we jet set off to Japan.

We plan on having a reception party in a week so we'll keep you all posted :)

Oh and here's a picture of my new platinum *WEDDING BAND* !!! Polish edge with satin brush center :) And for you cats who know your jewelry, Rue Rue didn't get a band as she's an active meezer and having two bands on such cute small paws makes a tight fit...

WOW! We are on a roll!

Wow, *CALVIN* is right! Our family is on a roll!!!

I wanted to thank everyone who concatulated me on my DDP! It really cheered me up since a mean cat said I was "fat" at 13 pounds... I gotta agree with *OLY* in that I'll join her by sitting on future cats until they beg furrr furrrgiveness if they say that again to me or my friends! MOL!!! So what, are long haired cats fat even at 9 pounds??? *rolls eyes*

I hope you all have a great week!!!

Being fluffy comes in handy!

Well, some cat had said in our video "My dad the hero" that us cats were "really fat" but I know while Boogie can loose a few pounds, I'm 12-13 pounds and my vet said it was GOOD :) That doesn't bother us, but what I'm happy to report is that it's true! While I may look chubby, it's all fur! A curse of being a medium hair cat. I'm no way a short cat, our vet agreed. But mom put a tux on me today and I'm happy to report I'm a bit fluffy! The tux barely fit and the bottoms were NO WAY going to get on my bottom! MOL!!!

It pays to be fluffy! Gosh I hate ignorant cats...

UPDATE: Catster removed that mean post :) YAY!

Halloween Costumes?

Dang, I gotta get mine soon before all the good ones are sold out!!! Have you guys seen my fiancee
*RUE RUE'S* costume? MOL!!! She's the wicked witch of the West! You know, because she's from West VA! MOL! Get it??

Magic of Purrrrs

I'm still hoping that Ash gains more strength from his paws and that he can use the litter better. That can't be fun :(

PURrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *SNORT* PUrrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *DROOL* PurrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrrr *DREAMS OF RUE RUE* PurRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrrr *DROOLS SOME MORE* PurrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrr *SNORE*

Purrrrs and Candles

Oooo I just found a purrr thread that Morgan had started! Also there's a candle site where you can light one in honor of him so I wanted to post links here:

*LIGHT A CANDLE*

*PURRRR THREAD FOR ASHLEY*

I'm glad to hear his paws are getting better, but now the poor guy is having bladder problems....

Keep the purrrrs up!!!!

Very worried Hondosan!!!

Oh I am so upset now and worried furrr my girl Rue Rue and her family!!! Her "furry dad" Ashley is very very sick and took a turn for the worst...

*ASHLEY* started to bleed again and is not clotting his blood fast enough!!! His mom is very very worried. He has a vet appointment today and we are purrrring like mad....

Ashley, feel better soon!! Please let us know how the vet appointment goes :( Be strong!!!

*cloud 9*

Ok, we don't know when the date is, but I'm putting Rue Rue in charge... I hope she won't turn into a bridezilla! MOL!!!

So our honeymoon will be in Japan as we both love Sushi and she knows how much I love Hello Kitty. Also, she is a meezer, and who knows, maybe we'll meet a long lost relative of hers!

Ok, back to planning :)

SHE SAID YES!!!

SHE SAID YES!!! *does indy 500* SHE SAID YES!!!

ETA: Have you heard the song she put on her page?? *melts* Looks like I'll knead to find myself a tux! I know Boogers and Fido (my best dudes) have tux's already! MOL

Rue Rue?? Will you marry me??

*takes a deep breath*

Rue Rue?? You have been my girlfriend furrr 9 months. I met you through my brother. While I may not be a Super Stroller, I am one at heart. Had Boogers not have drawn your name in the Secret Santa, we might not have met!!!! In my paw, I have your engagement ring. I know you have allergies, so if you're like my mom, you're allergic to most metals except platinum. So I have this princess diamond for you as you're my princess... I hope you will make me the happiest cat on Catster and marry me :)

Rue Rue? *bends down on one knee* Will you marry me???

*Page under construction*

Ok, in 12 hours, you may all look at my page... But not earlier ok? MOL Wait, what are you doing? If you're reading this, you're not listening!

Nahhh, I'm going to be updating my page later so don't be alarmed if it looks drastically different...

Happy Birthday Sock!

YAY!! Our bestie *SOCK* turns 3 years old today!!! There's an all day party *HERE*!! I can't wait to meet the special guests!! Ooooooooooo!! Be sure to stop by his page and give him treats and Catster love!!!!

Have a great birthday Sock!

JibJab Rocks!

MOL!! Me and my brothers are having fun making a JibJab of us and our girls! Mine is above my bestie badges!! MOL!! Enjoy!! Dang, me and Rue Rue look suave!!!

Happy September 1st!

The time has come when I am prepping my Halloween costume!! It'll be something with Hello Kitty I suppose.... Sure I was that last year, but my props have gotten better this year!

As for my surprise??? Ummmm 2 cats guessed it!! MOL but no, not moving!! I wish we lived in CA though or NY as those are mom's two favorite states :)

Enjoy the cooler weather! Thank cod as my hair has been non stop frizzy all summer!!! I would love to have a short coat... Grass is always greener on the other side!!!

No new kitten or non furrry kids!

MOL Ok, I can't say anything not even in pm's, and as much as you would all like to bribe me with Hello Kitty stuff, I won't crack....

if it's a hello kitty mansion, we might be able to work something out...

Just to let inquiring cats know, there is NO HUMAN BABY on the way or an Orange cat... We're working on the later for another time...

*meows with HK collection furrr guidance*

*paces back and forth*

Ok.. Something... Big... Is going to happen... Not saying when... *paces back and forth back and forth*... I'm nervous as all meow! *paces* But a big load was lifted from my furrry semi ave muscular shoulders.. *paces*

My Rue Rue rocks!

Holy Catnip! You'd think I'd already own Hello Kitty BandAids... NOT!! But I do now!

Rue Rue had sent me a 9 month annifurrsary gift along with a few extras due to my sneezies... Well inside I got: 3 black mousies, HK band-aids, a "CritterBug" laser pointer (Ooooooooooooo), two things of Tiki Cat food (MEOW this is the best food ever!), and a pair of chop sticks and fork and spoon with napkin! MOL

You see... I'm like my mom... I can't master the art of Chop Sticks! MOL So I knead a fork like my mom... Dad makes fun of mom but she says "I have small hands!" MOL

The food is delish! I have NEVER EVER attacked food like this! I'm actually quite picky! But mom opened up the Tiki food and I about mauled her down! MOL

I just ate this pink can that had Tuna! Mmmmmm but I can't remember the flavor as dad just took the trash out.. Dangit...

THANK YOU RUE RUE MY LIL MOOOOOOOO SHOOOOOOOOOO

Back from the Vet!!

YAY! I'm back!!

Ok, furrrst the bad news... Dang, I didn't do my morning buisness so now my weight is 13 pounds 7 oz... Still, I lost a pound no matter what from a year ago!

Now the GOOD news! I got some meds!! I got some Clavamox 62.5mg and Chlorpheniramine 4mg furr my sneezies. My pawsome vet Dr. Swartz said that the reason I wasn't given meds was it was a viral infection, and like Rue Rue's mom said, often you don't get meds furr that. So to make sure I get better, Dr. Swartz gave my mom some meds. He did agree that as long as we don't see green=GOOD!

I even got my picture taken with my vet!!

Dr. Swartz appologied that we weren't happy with our last visit and cut our fee in half which is fine being that we were there furrr almost 50 minutes talking. You see, his daughter just had a baby and that's where he was :) He showed us pictures too!

Phew... Mom and I feel much better as we really love our vet Dr. Swartz, semi retired. He's the only vet in our area to ever heal Boogers.

Pics to come soon!

Sad Hondosan...

When *RUE RUE* is sad, her Hondosan is sad... You see Rue Rue's friend *NAIMA* just made her journey over the bridge... I first heard about this wonderful cat from Rue Rue! And now that our storms have passed, I hop onto Catster to read about Naima... I'm so sorry furrr her family's loss...

Sad Hondosan...

I'm feeling a bit better, but still sneezing white clear stuff, but my problem is trivial to Naima's... Send her purrrs furrr me ok??

Yes, Boogers... 12 pounds!

Yes, I weigh 12 pounds some odd ounces!!! Boogers' in disbelief!! MANY think I weigh as much or more than Boogies, but I am a Medium hair cat. Borderline... But I do weigh 4-5 pounds less than Boogers!!! I actually weigh less than Fido if you can believe that. I'm not lying when I say I'm fluff!!!

I think Boogers gained the 2 pounds I lost in the past year :) HEHEHE

Boogie is jealous... I get treats 4x a day too! And he only likes treats at night (kaviar and cod). Poor dude...

Trust me, I'm a divo and I care about my weight.. But I like my girl Rue Rue healthy! MROWW she's purrrfect!

Package and Friends

I just wanted to say again that I appreciate all the support and concern furrr my sneezies... *RUE RUE'S MOM* called mine and they talked about why I might not have gotten meds... Mom had Dad tell the Vet that I was eating and drinking, and that's why we might not have gotten meds. Rue Rue's mom was a Vet tech once. I'm still sneezing, not as much as yesterday but more than we'd like... HISSSSSSSSS

Mom made a NEW appointment on Monday furrr me in case, with our GOOD vet. Paranoid? Maybe, but she loves me :)

Today we received a small package from our besties *COCOA AND CO!!*! Inside were two small catnip socks that their mom made! She's getting SO GOOD at these!! Pictures to follow soon!!

THANK YOU! WE REALLY APPRECIATE OUR FRIENDS!!!!

Back from the EVIL VET!!!

Ok, mom just got done helping me send thank you's out to all my friends who were worried about me. Thank you oh so much, that meant a lot to her! She was sorta snippy today at work as her mind was on me instead... Dad took me to the V-E-T while she went to work.

I'm doing ok... Nothing serious as far as we know... Our regular vet, Dr. Schwartz is da bomb... But he is not in until Monday :( Mom didn't want to wait that long so she took whom ever...

I have NO MEDICINE TO TAKE! Mom is very annoyed... I know my girl Rue Rue will agree as meowmies tend to get more information and ask more questions at the vet's office than daddies... So mom has been quizzing dad since she got home 10 minutes ago... "WHAT NO MEDS?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WAIT TILL GREEN SNOT COMES?!"

So this viral infection I have (not kitty cold--even though mom thinks it is) will "go away" and turn my snot into green yuckies if it is something serious... Why not pink like Rocky Ann said?!?

And when the stuff turns to green, that's when we will call and get antibiotics... I even felt so bad that I did a #2 by the box... (Mom was told this by dad and I swear, this was the first and ONLY TIME this happened). *turns crimson*

THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT I LOST 2 POUNDS since last year!! WOOHOOOO!!! Boogie is like 6-7 pounds heavier than me, although I look fatter! SWEET! I'm 12 pounds some odd oz now!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURRS AND SUPPORT!! *HUGS*

Hondosan meows, *ACHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, SNIFFLES*

Oh no... Mom is going on about 3 hours of sleep... You see, I sleep next to her or on the chair near the bed.. And mom being a light sleeper kept hearing, "ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW" ALL night long... It started late last night, but then it kept her up... Not good...

I have a V-E-T (WHA??????) appointment at 6:20 tonight but with a different vet from the same office... Ours won't be in until Monday, and mom didn't want to wait till then...

It's probably a kitty cold, but I feel most unlike Hondosan Potter HK Loving today... :(

Sowwy mom that I kept you up... ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW

Mom even took a pic of me mid sneeze and I look worse than a dog, if pawsible..

ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW

Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok, I am anxiously awaiting with tuna breath to see what Rue Rue thinks of her gifty!!! I told her initially that she could NOT open it until after September 1st, but that would be cruel... And I'm all about love and pink! So Fido told her furr me that she can open it today if she fancies MOL!! I was busy primin' so I couldn't tell her purrrsonaly.

So what did I get her? I got her... Nice try... NOT!!!!

:) Stay pink friends!

Gimme some paw...

So I just got done spending 30 minutes giving cats 5 paws... Seriously, I get sad when cats have 2 paws!!! C'mon, we're all cute!!

But ONLY ONCE in my life have I run into a cat that I knew... That cat was *DANTE*. I wish I ran into a cat I knew more often!!! I always give 5 paws!

TGIF!!!

Phew, it's Friday and you know what that means? More Catster time furrr me and my brothers! This thing called "W-O-R-K" always gets in the way... What gives??? I can't wait to go shopping this weekend with mom! I gave her my HUGE list as I have about 5 birthday gifts to send this weekend! I can't wait!

I hope all my friends have a safe and fun weekend! Be sure to go shopping, as it's good cardio and it's fun to shop!

Hello Kitty delivers and what? A PARTY?!?

Today in the mail came the mostest pinkest gift ever!! HOLY CATS!!! My bestie *ROCKY ANN* surprised me with a most gorgeous PINK Feng Shui Hello Kitty! She is SO Pink!!! On the hanging tag it says:

Pink
You're prettier in pink, and more popular, too. This darling color has the power to improve your love life and generally make you fel better about yourself"

DANG RIGHT! I also got a cute HK clear purse and it holds catnip (which RA graciously put inside)! And then I got the cutest HK notebook! The cover was oh so cute and Boogie was drooling as there was food on the front! MOL THANK YOU SO MUCH ROCKY ANN!

I'd like to invite EVERYONE to join in on a special party *HERE*!!

It's an all day event that will kick off soon when it's officially August 15, 2007!! We're celebrating our buddy *HORUS' 2nd BIRTHDAY*!

Also we're celebrating my brother *FIDO'S* 1 year annifurrsary on Catster, and the 1 year annifurrsary of when he came into our home!!!

My girl Rue Rue cracks me up!

MOL ok, so I just received the funniest email from Rue Rue... I won't go into details, but MOL. Did you know my girl is a famous Rapper? MOL!!! *Hopes Rue Rue finds this funny* MOL!!!!

Ok, so tomorrow, in 24.25 hours, I'll be able to taste my brother Fido's Pink cake! They better not put pink sprinkles on his cake!

You see, August 15, 2007 marks the year annifurrrsary when the lil' dude came to our home and made our lives a living terror. No no... Kidding... It was the day where I realized that I could kick his tail at boxing. No no... Kidding again...

...Or am I?

Pink Shrimp

"Shrimpy Shrimpy Shrimp Shrimp Shrimp!

*tee hee*"

Is this the Shrimpy Shrimp taunting me because I ate him? He was so good though! Shrimpy Shrimp in my belly!! Mmmmmm *burp* OOOPS! THANK YOU!!

Please, NO CHAIN LETTERS!!!!

Ok, I woke up to like 18 pawmails, and I was soooooooooo excited but 9 of them were messages like:

Harry Potter: House, Wand, and Patronus

Thanks to my bestie *SIMBA* she has given my mom some cool links which are also in her diary! So, like a true Harry Potter fan, one must know 3 key components: House, Wand, and one's Patronus!

First, to begin your magical studies, you must be sorted into a house. There are four. The house I would be in is Hufflepuff according to the link below. This is so appropriate as I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'm a gentle cat!! You can see what house you're in *HERE*

Next, you are given a wand which you'll need before you attempt spells. Here's my wand results from *THIS* website:

10 3/4", Ash, Veela Same as Boogers!

Last, now that you are in a House, and have your wand. What's your Patronus? You can find out *HERE*. My Patronus is a Python!! MEOW! That's scary!!

Like my Hedwig??

OMC!! Look at what our buddy *CALVIN AND CO* helped us with!!! His meowmy graciously helped us make our Harry Potter pictures pawsible!! How cool are they? No really!!! If their family EVER comes into contact with a Dementor, we have their back!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH CALVIN AND YOUR MEOWMY!!!

It rocks... Awww yes, it does! Mom's favorite and she thought it didn't get any better than the 4th game!!!! The Luna challenges are the most irritating, especially the first one when you have to collect 28 of DD Army... Don't get us started...

Sorry my family has been MIA for a few days in groups.. So not like us, but you see? Mom has been playing the NEW Harry Potter Order of The Phoenix game furrr PS3 lately!!!!

She's a bit confused so if you can help?? She battled Voldy at the end of the Dept of Minestry, yada yada... She said the fight scene was very Matrix!!! And now she's back at Hogwarts trying to find Luna's 5 belongings... Now the game said we're 70% done.. Does 100% mean you've found all the small irrelevant things??

HELP?

Mom had a bad BAD cold and is starting to feel better.... I will admit it was nice being home w/ her all week:) We got lots of bonks and lovies from her. I love playing V-E-T with mom! TLC goes a long way!!!!!

Horrorscopes!

MOL Here's my girl Rue Rue's scope furrr today:

"You're having a bad-fur day. Every single strand of hair on your body is out of place, and no amount of grooming will fix it. You can't change the static in the air, so just deal with your aesthetic reality and move forward."

MOL!!!!

Seriously, how cute is Rue Rue?

MOL!!! I'd like furrr everyone to check out Rue Rue's picture! How cute is she? Did someone take a magic marker to her face? That's what Bellsnickles meowed... That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Thank you again furrr wishing my mom get well wishes... It meant a lot and she's finally getting better. Time furrr me to catch up on my pawmail!!!!

Keeping meowmy company...

So mom is still nursing her cold... Mom took a pic of all 3 of us cats on the bed w/ her resting, but she has no idea how to transfer a pic from her razor to the computer... Oh well....

Me and meowmy had a cry fest while watching the last episode of Grey's season 2... You know... The one w/ Danny crossing over the bridge... That helped mom's nose run... One side is still clogged... She isn't happy...

On other news... My BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND *Rue Rue* aka "Amy Rue Rue" MOL sent me a 6 month annifurrsary gift! OMC!! I got greenies, TONSSSSSSSSSSS of pictures furr me to admire, a cute card, lil' love note, and a fishing pattern catnip pillow.... I kicked major bunny tail with that!!! SCORE!!!
